Unfortunately, none of that methods helped. My board stops responding as

Another question. I see some ioctl() errors on the wpa_supplicant 
initialization (see bellow).
Is this normal?

$ wpa_supplicant -t -D wext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ioctl[SIOCSIWESSID]: Invalid argument
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
