This looks like your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file is not
formatted correctly.
I believe most of the first things you're setting are defaulted, but
even so, I'd remove them to get the rest working first (I think
ieee80211d is enabled for Global Roaming so it won't transmit on
channels you shouldn't be in your country, but you could doublecheck if
you're really concerned.)
The lines starting with ssid=somename should be inside a:
network={
}
enclosure for network configuration.
Perhaps try with just a network block and see if wpa_supplicant likes it
OK. And make sure there's no funny line endings or the like.
Also, you didn't XXXX out your wpa_passphrase in the error message above
so hopefully it's a fake one or you've changed it by now.
