wpa_supplicant fails to initialize wlan0

Device: Wyze Cam V2
Issue: I am attempting to re-flash a camera that was already running an OLD version of OpenMiko. I've re-flashed it at least 10 times with various versions and I keep seeing the same issue in the wpa_supplicant.log saying it can't initialize wlan0. I've attached the wpa_supplicant.log below.
wpa_supplicant.conf:

Make sure you are using fresh config files, as the format has changed with each release.
If that doesn't solve it, to ensure you have cleared any residual files from the camera, hold the reset button for a few seconds and it will flash blue three times. You should also format the memory card, as it can easily become corrupted if it is writing to a log file when it is powered off.

It's a brand-new configuration file. I've also reset the camera and the memory card has been formatted. Twice.
The openmiko.conf file you have will only work with 0.41, so stick with that. I realize you have tried with that already, but just to narrow things down. Also make sure you have 0.41-alpha2.
Are there any other files in your config directory on the sdcard?
I've noticed you have proto=RSN in your wpa_supplicant.conf. Just because it is not in the original file could you try without it? I don't see any reason removing it would help, but I've had issues with seemingly minor differences before.
I was also finding that the memory card was corrupting every time I turned off the camera. I have a separate .bin file with a handful of changes on it (including fsck) that runs nicely for me on a WyzeCam v2. If all else fails, I can try sending that.
Okay, I went ahead and re-formatted the SD card then made fresh copies of openmiko.conf, wpa_supplicant.conf, and videocapture_settings.json and dropped them into /config/overlay/etc . I also downloaded a fresh copy of the 0.0.41-alpha2 and moved that to the SD card and renamed it to demo.bin. And...it worked. No idea what the issue was (I swear I've TRIED this exact configuration before) but hey, 37th times the charm! Thank you for the assistance.
I've added a PR with some basic config generators: #89
Going down the linting route was going to be a lot harder, and this should cover most people's use cases.
