I recently reported an issue with NetworkManager that causes buggy and unreliable network service to some PEAP networks if the wpa_supplicant is not up to date (1.1 or higher). Because of this I think we should check for the right version of wpa_tools at configure time to prevent this issue. Worst case is it delays deployment on some systems like debian which does not have wpasupplicant 1.1 yet
