Looks like.

That seems like you didn't patch the supplicant with this patch? With
this patch it won't try to set to mode 2 (station). Or is 23 the 'wlan0'
interface? I doubt it though, it's in station mode and should be ok.

Yes it's not supposed to change the iftype here.

That depends on your driver.
