  There's no reason why the intermediate certificate can't issue a
client certificate.

  And yes, you already said it complained about that.  There's no reason
to re-post a summary of that message.  You were asked to post *specific*

  A direct linkage doesn't exist, and doesn't need to exist.

  Windows has *zero* problems using such a client certificate for
EAP-TLS.  If you see an error message, then either the software you're
using is broken, or you didn't understand the message it's producing.
