Does anyone know why the recipe for wpa_supplicant is using gnutls
and not the default OpenSSH for TLS services?  It seems that gnutls
is somehow broken and EAP-TLS does not work with this configuration.
Changing wpa_supplicant to use the OpenSSH libraries makes EAP-TLS
work fine.

Would a patch to make this change be entertained?  or should I just
keep it in my own layer?

I don't think a patch to just flip the default would be a good idea.  A
patch to make it be a DISTRO_FEATURE, on the other hand, would be
excellent.

Thanks, I'll see about working one up.

Btw. You mean openssl not openssh, which uses openssl too.

And a problem with using openssl for wpa_supplicant was license 
incompatibilities.

I think wpa_supplicant has the openssl exception in its license nowadays, but 
it's best to double check

I don't see anything explicit on this topic.  That said, the latest version
(1.0) is dual licensed GPL and BSD and the OpenSSL license is BSD compatible
from what I can tell.
