This is really a major update! I'm now able to use our 802.11
network, with an EAP/TTLS based 802.1X authentication.

Nearly everything went smoothly, except two nits:

    - as EAP/TTLS support was apparently not enabled in the
	wpa_supplicant port, I had to force its configuration.

    - I had to manually set:
	ifconfig ath0 authmode 8021x
	(ifconfig was incorrectly using WPA1+WPA2)

Thanks for this great and long awaited work!

Pierre
