PEAP Fast Reconnect

No, not currently.  Doing so will require a level of caching and  
connection of the TLS session information with the RADIUS attributes  
that currently is not in place.  This kind of checking is to insure  
that a user is not able to authenticate with is credentials, then,  
say, simply change his EAP identity/username and reauth with a fast  
reconnect (which doesn't check the certificate).  Since the cert is  
not checked in a fast reconnect, there is nothing to connect the  
session to the RADIUS attributes (such as username), so any username  
would be accepted unless a fast reconnect is checked against the  
initial session credentials.  Username substitution like this could,  
obviously, lead to users being able to gain privileges they wouldn't  
otherwise have.
