I'm pretty sure the problem I had with connecting to my 802.1x network
had something to do with one of the new TLS extensions that was enabled.
It was pretty clear gnutls's TLS support isn't as complete as openssl's
(fewer extensions, fewer supported ciphers).  My packet inspections
showed the version of openssl that shipped with 12.04 enabled several
new extensions when compared to the 11.10 version of openssl or gnutls.

It'd be useful if there was a version wpasupplicant that would allows
easily changing which extensions are enabled so we can see which access
points support which extensions.

Would it be too obnoxious to add a configuration option to wpa
supplicant that allows manually twiddling flags on the
SSL_set_options(conn->ssl, options); call? Or would it be better to come
up some test tool that can test the various combinations of extensions
with 802.1x authentication?
