Send response to client

[David Mitton]

It's even worse than that.

Windows XP and Vista supplicants will respond to an EAP notification  
message (after dropping it on the ground) with the appropriate  
acknowledgement.   The first release of WIndows 7 wouldn't even do  
that.  So if an EAP server sent a Notification message, the state  
machine would grind to a halt.
There was a hotfix, hopefully it was integrated into the patch stream by now.
