Quick note: I don't understand that much of 802.11 protocol internals
but my reading of the wpa_supplicant documentation seems to hint that
MS-CHAP is an extension of PEAP, or needs PEAP for some reason, and
that therefore PEAP support is right there in current wpa_supplicant.

Promise: I'll buy that O'Reilly 802.11 book yesterday! And read it too!

cheers,
