Nothing special. wpa_supplicant can usually automatically decide which WPA
protocol (WPA or RSN, aka WPA2) is to be used. What we currently do not support
is WPA-EAP, maybe this is actually meant here. That makes the setup process
much more complex, depending on the EAP method it may even require that the
user has to provide certificate files via some media, so this is not trivial to
implement and needs an official feature request therefore IMHO. The benefit of
this is doubtful, as WPA-EAP is most probably only used inside enterprise
environments, I don't think admins will strain themselves by installing
machines via slow wireless links.
