Please remove 'ssid' parameter from you configuration file and retry. No
SSID is used in wired networks and as such, wpa_supplicant won't match
this network configuration and does not start 802.1X in a wired network.

In general, I would recommend posting the details in a message to this
mailing list rather than pointing to an URL to increase likelyhood of
quick and correct response..
