In order to add new EAP methods to the linux implementation of IEEE802.1X, I had to make the protocol work on a wire. Since I had some difficulties to succeed and to find sample examples for wired connection, I publish these sample configuration here. I hope it will help.

It is based on hostapd and wpa_supplicant 0.6.4. To compile them, go in the hostapd/wpa_supplicant directory, copy "defconfig" to ".config", for hostapd uncomment the line "CONFIG_DRIVER_WIRED=y" and "make".
