This is correct.

I don't recommend investing time into wpa_supplicant. I looked at ead and I
think it's far simpler to get it working with ConnMan together. Basically, the
main problem is to order. The 802.1x protocol needs to run before DHCP.
A simple prototype would be running ead along with side ConnMan and defer DHCP
slightly, so that ead can finish first.
The difficult part is how to make this more generic. Propably ConnMan should
look for ead on D-Bus and read it state (interface is missing). When the ead is
running, DHCP for ethernet devices will wait until ead says on D-Bus
device is ready.
Thanks,
Daniel
