Subject: WLAN EAP methods verification.

Hi all,

I would like to ask if there is a policy or way to verify a WLAN driver in kernel such as ath9k, iwlwifi, rt2x00 or rtlwifi and so on ... pass all the EAP method [1] or WPA/WPA2
encryption ?

Not really. I think we all pretty much assume that once we support the
cipher algorithms (TKIP/CCMP) everything else works because it's
implemented in wpa_supplicant and the drivers don't have to do anything
but pass frames and eventually install keys.

The only driver where that's not true is the PS3 wifi driver ;-)
