It would help me (and everybody) if you could shed a little light on that 
subject.

Apart from patching wpa_supplicant 0.3.11 and the most current to work 
under FreeBSD, I'm probably missing an import piece of information. Neither 
the man pages nor the current FreeBSD docs indicate (at least for me) the 
necessary adjustments.

I'm certainly willing to raise a general web page about those issues 
(wlan/eap/802.11x) on my technical web site (https://www.fehcom.net).

regards.
