No, it came through fine the first time.

"Possible"?  Sure; you've got source code.

That's EAP-TLS.  At least for debug, we should add decoding of the
well-known types.

Sounds likely.

Right.

Yes.

Sure; it's possible.

Unless you're volunteering to write the code or know some who is
volunteering (and has the right equipment to test the results
properly), then I can't imagine what the ETA would be.  This is open
source; things get done because someone cares about the result, not
_just_ because there's a request.
