I will try to collect a wpa_supplicant log; this is a bit tricky because
wpa_supplicant is launched at boot time with hardcoded flags in
/etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant and it seems it does not log via syslog (at
least I don't see how this could be enabled in the man page);

No, there is no "wildcard ap".

Thx for your reply in any case.
