There are only 2 drivers.  The -D option was left out of the original
man page because it didn't exist.  At the time wpa_supplicant was
brought into the system all drivers capable of supporting WPA used a
standard api (in FreeBSD all wireless drivers are unified under a common
net80211 layer that exports an API that applications are written to).
-Dndis was added because the ndis emulation code in the system exports a
different api, requiring a different glue layer/driver in wpa_supplicant.

I will fix the wpa_supplicant man page.
