This turned out to be a wpa_supplicant issue.  wpa_supplicant uses
KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA (instead of KEY_MGMT_802_1X) to handle Dynamic
WEP where the AP doesn't broadcast WPA IEs (ie, a pure Dynamic WEP
network), and that value wasn't being handled correctly by
wpa_driver_wext_keymgmt2wext().

This has been fixed on the wpa_supplicant 0.6.x branch but not
backported to the 0.5.x branch yet.  Tested with EAP-TLS and LEAP with
iwl4965 on kernel-2.6.23.1-35.fc8.

For Fedora, I've built wpa_supplicant-0.5.7-15.fc8 to fix this issue.
