Here's the description from Cisco.  From what I take it, it's the way
EAP is handled the differences between EAP and LEAP.  I'll be setting up
a test box with XP (which supports EAP directly) to see if it works
differently.

EAP and LEAP
EAP is an optional IEEE 802.1x security feature that is ideal for
organizations with a large user base and access to an EAP-enabled Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server, such as Cisco
Secure ACS 2.6. The RADIUS server uses EAP to provide server-based
authentication for clients.

Server-based authentication can be enabled for your client adapter in
one of two ways:

  a.. Through a host device and code built into its operating system
(referred to as EAP)

  b.. Through your client adapter's firmware and Cisco software
(referred to as LEAP)

This method provides authentication service to client adapters whose
host devices are not running an operating system with built-in EAP
support. The term LEAP is used to distinguish authentication provided by
the client firmware from authentication provided by a host and its
operating system.
