I'm not sure I understood what you are trying to do, but I'm assuming
you are talking about using wpa_supplicant as an external registrar over
EAP transport. This is documented in README-WPS:
If the client wants to operate in the Registrar role to configure an
AP, wpa_supplicant is notified over the control interface, e.g., with
wpa_cli:
wpa_cli wps_reg <AP BSSID> <AP PIN>
(example: wpa_cli wps_reg 02:34:56:78:9a:bc 12345670)
This is currently only used to fetch the current AP settings instead
of actually changing them. The main difference with the wps_pin
command is that wps_reg uses the AP PIN (e.g., from a label on the AP)
instead of a PIN generated at the client.
In other words, there is currently no support for actually changing the
AP configuration with this.
