As much as I've understood, the problem comes from the privacy mismatch
function returning non-zero. This means that wpa_supplicant doesn't set
IW_AUTH_KEY_MGMT_802_1X because if you check the function then the
key_manegement_enabled variable is checked first thing.

Yes, it seems that wpa_supplicant is not setting key management
properly, possibly because internally it only translates two of the key
management possibilities into the right wext state.
