This is correct and explicit identity configuration should not be needed
when using EAP-SIM with a real SIM card.

Please note that you need to prefix the IMSI number with 1 when using
EAP-SIM.

That should have had 1 (hex 31) before the IMSI.

This is likely caused by the missing '1'.


Anyway, your previous debug log was pointing out that there was a
problem with PIN code used with the card. Please make sure that the PIN
is configured correctly and also send a full debug log from the
beginning of the wpa_supplicant run.

Did you add PCSC code into the supplicant .config without possibly
rebuilding everything? Running 'make clean; make' may be a good idea to
make sure that everything is build with the same configuration.
