The current code fails to authenticate when the AP (most likely Cisco
AP) is configured for "Network EAP" mode. The old code (before the
cleanup) allowed the authentication to be completed successfully.

Nope. WLAN_AUTH_* are the values used in Authentication frames
(Authentication Algorithm field). See ieee80211_send_auth() in
net/mac80211/mlme.c. The ifsta->auth_alg must have a value that matches
with the algorithm identifier in the frame and in the case of LEAP
("Network EAP"), this value is 128, not 2.
