You should probably use the wlan0 declaration. What do you see when you type 'ifconfig'? You line should probably be 'sudo wpa_supplicant -c/home/user/Desktop/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0' The -D defines the driver that wpa uses and -i defines the interface. Let me know if that works for you.
