Because 4-Way Handshake is not used over wired networks.. It is only for
IEEE 802.11.

This was removed quite some time ago since no one seemed to be using
that option anymore. wpa_supplicant includes all the needed
functionality for IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication so no external program
is needed for that.

These wpa options are not used for driver=wired.

These WPA options are not used when using -Dwired.
