Hi Oscar,

I have only passing familiarity with the code base (looking into 
allowing alternative destination mac addresses for EAPOL / 802.1X so 
that MACsec links can traverse switches if desired), but I assume the 
EAP support was introduced to the code base first for WPA, before only 
later being used (in its EAP Over Lan form) to implement 802.1X.

Possibly it's never been possible to have 802.1X functioning without 
WPA.  To check, I suppose you could try the 802.1X support in old 
versions and if applicable git bisect to see when it broke.

HTH,

Tim.
