Hi,

I have just upgraded wpasupplicant to the version in experimental to
give it a try, but it fails to run and gives the following error
message: 

Failed to register EAP methods
Two or more EAP methods used the same EAP type.
Failed to initialize wpa_supplicant

I guess this is due to the following change made upstream:

* added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)

Because both EAP-SAKE and EAP-PSK are enabled during build, we get a
conflict, because both use the same EAP-type.

I have build wpasupplicant without the support for EAP-SAKE (by
updating the config dpatch) and then it runs fine.

Greetings Arjan Oosting.
