It looks like you have the network interface ath0 in a bridge. In
general, that may not be that good of an idea since IEEE 802.11 does not
support layer 2 bridging in station mode. Anyway, if you really want to
do this, you will need to tell wpa_supplicant about the bridge interface
to allow it to receive EAPOL frames. You can do this by adding -b<bridge
interface> (e.g., -bbr0) on the command line.
