By using an EAP method that derives sufficient key material.

Those use eap=MSCHAPV2, i.e., EAP-MSCHAPv2 as the EAP method (this is
_without_ PEAP or TTLS and TLS tunnel). That is not advisable for any
use today from security view point. In addition to that, EAP-MSCHAPV2
does not derive sufficiently long keys to allow FT key hierarchy to be
formed. If you were to replace that with MSCHAPv2 within PEAP or TTLS
Phase 2, this would work.
