  No.  Xsupplicant is an EAP client.  It needs to talk to something
like a wireless AP, which will act as an EAP server to xsupplicant,
and as a RADIUS client to FreeRADIUS.

  So you've got to write an EAP server. It shouldn't be too bad, as
you've got free client & server code already.  And a free EAP server
will allow a UNix box to act as a wireless AP, which they can't do
right now.

  That is, a free EAP server will probably receive significant input
from the free software community.
