| 9 | Hi Valerio, |

| 11 | I think you'll find the above program does work on wired networks - |
| 12 | check the README file and search for the text 'wired' (linked off the |
| 13 | main page above): |

| 17 | They give a few examples on how 802.1x can be used with wpa_supplicant |
| 18 | over a wired connection (note that I haven't done this myself). |
