Have you tested either of these APs in WPA-PSK mode or was it another AP
that you used in the WPA-PSK test?

As far as crashing is concerned, I would point to ndiswrapper and or
NDIS driver. Based on the log file, it looks like wpa_supplicant gets an
association event, but does not receive any EAPOL packets from the AP.
In addition, ndiswrapper is supposed to send an association info event
to wpa_supplicant, but that does not show up in the debug log for some
reason.. Could you please also send a debug log from the same card and
driver when using WPA-PSK successfully? Anyway, I would assume that this
would be something ndiswrapper specific.
