Internally it "knows", but the information is not provided outside.

Nope.

Hello,
what is the connman's status w.r.t. 802.1x (port authentication) on
Ethernet?
802.1x / EAP seems to be only supported on WiFi currently with
wpa-supplicant doing the heavy lifting
I think a similar route could be taken to add 802.1x support for ethernet;
are you aware of work or patches in that direction?
would patches be acceptable?
thanks, regards, p.

This feature has been talked about a few times in the past, and not
only regarding ConnMan but also systemd-networkd. A separate project
implementing a shared library providing 802.1x support would be the way
to go here. AFAIK nobody has yet picked up the task.
Cheers,

thanks for the pointer towards systemd-networkd
why a separate library and not wpa-supplicant?

To use wpa_supplicant for _ethernet_ port authentication will be a bad
hack and precisely the reason why it hasn't been used in the past for
this task...

Yes. Actually, Denis helped me to add support for the modem (Sierra MC73xx).
So now, I'm able to use it.

Ok, thanks for the information.
