O.K. I just configured one of my ORPS boxes to be "client only"  as far as
the NRPS kit is concerned  (eduroam4), and all my EAP error messages have
gone away.

Tomorrow I'll install the latest FR 3.0 code so I can see where the
requests coming from... guess it'll verify  that they're via the NRPS
servers.

... and then go down the tcpdump route for detailed stuff
