  No, you're right.  But that isn't much different than multiple
packet exchanges.  Just divide by N.

  I would suggest using xsupplicant as a start, and writing a
stand-alone command-line EAP client.

  That is, you're going to *have* to write an EAP client to do the
load testing, so you might as well write a generic one, and then use
that to do load testing.
