wpa_supplicant not working on wext interface

[hardik patel]

ADB is nothing but android debug shell ... through adb command we can
connect to android phone and get shell prompt. where we can run
command...

>> D/wpa_supplicant( ?501): Wireless event: cmd=0x8b15 len=20
>> D/wpa_supplicant( ?501): Wireless event: new AP: 00:26:0b:dc:17:8b

00:26:0b:dc:17:8b is mac addr is one my cisco AP . I am not able to
understand that my conf does have not any network  entry then how
wpa_supplicant get the address of ap and trying to connect with
that... Yes i am not doing any p2p connection using wext interface...
but i want make sure that same supplicant works for both p2p and
normal wext interface for GUI ... because GUI using wext interface..

One more thing I have build wpa_supplicant with CONFIG_ANDROID_LOG=y
option  but still i am not getting any carsh dump on screen ... how do
this ...
