Setup looks ok and it looks like the reason for not seeing EAPOL-Start
is in the configuration including ssid option.. If you were to remove
the ssid line, this should work. I didn't remember that this would
happen, so it took some time to actually realize what was happening. In
other wrods, I actually had to make an exact copy of your configuration
to get this reproduced since my test configuration did not specify SSID.

I'll see if I can make this a bit clearer by either making
wpa_supplicant ignore ssid option or at least complain about it for
the -Dwired case.

Yes.

Yes, if anonymous_identity is set, it will be used in Phase 1.

This is supposed to be followed by following lines:

Already associated with a configured network - generating associated
event
State: DISCONNECTED -> ASSOCIATED
Association event - clear replay counter
Associated to a new BSS: BSSID=01:80:c2:00:00:03
No keys have been configured - skip key clearing
Network configuration found for the current AP
EAPOL: External notification - portControl=Auto
Associated with 01:80:c2:00:00:03
EAPOL: External notification - portEnabled=0
EAPOL: External notification - portValid=0
EAPOL: External notification - portEnabled=1
EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering state CONNECTING
EAPOL: txStart


(and it did in my tests, after removing ssid line)
