Hmmm, booo indeed.

That seems like the wrong fix :(

Looks like it would be best to try and find what the actual cause
is - if it's eapol_test then that should be fixed, rather than
removing TLS 1.2 from FreeRADIUS.

A config option in FR would IMHO be the best way for this, like
the allow broken openssl one. And something that touches as little
code as possible in the stable release.

I'd document them and leave it as-is :)

I guess the only reason to do otherwise is to stop timewasting
questions being posted to this list...
