Does eapol_test lie about the data it exchanges with FreeRADIUS?

Thanks for clarifying that!  I was guessing that eapol_test was synthesising
an EAP message using values like the Identifier from outside the PEAP (TLS)
tunnel because that value certainly wasn't present inside the tunnel (the
identity request, for example, was just a PEAP-style single-byte 0x01 without
an EAP header), and then printing it as if it was an EAP message.  This made
debugging what was actually being sent tricky.
