  Whether it's windows or not, the supplicant is *always* the one who
chooses to stop doing EAP.

  Uh... then all bets are off.  If eapol_test doesn't work, then you
broke the FR configuration.  FR && eapol_test work together.  I do this
pretty much every day.

  Post the output from eapol_test.  It should produce *many* messages
describing exactly what is going wrong, and why.

  You read it fine.  Something *else* is going on.

  Wordy is better than "I tried stuff and it didn't work."
