Setting this bit was the workaround for WLAN card, that is yet being 
developed, not
for XP supplicant.  Setting this bit  is a directive for XP supplicant 
to set the default key
(not the unicast one, but one with indexes from 1 to 4) active. 

There is a way to enable debugging messages in WinXP for EAPOL
related stuff. Just look into following entry in your registry :

\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Microsoft\Tracing\EAPOL

All parameters there are self-explanatory, though I haven't managed to 
get console
tracing work, though file tracing worked just fine.

The problem I discovered that XP supplicant doesn't like your replay 
counter fields.
The gettimeofday() call, which was used as replay counter didn't work 
correctly, because
those 8 bytes, generated by it was not constantly growing (struct 
timeval consists of two
longs that leads to machine endian dependency for this field). At least 
this problem
was fixed by the NTP patch.

If you need help just let me know.
