     Just in case, here are a few things I know about wpa_supplicant:

      wpa_supplicant does ifups automatically when it connects to a wifi 
station. If an interface name is not specified in wpa_supplicant.conf, 
in the proper section of this station, it ifups the interface named 
"default".

     Therefore you shouldn't ifup yourself. You only need to fill the 
configuration files, wpa_supplicant.conf, via the control socket and 
interfaces by some method probably involving sudo.
