Configuring Request Identity Re-Transmissions

If the authenticator sends a Request Identity frame, but the supplicant does not respond, the
authenticator waits 30 seconds and then re-transmits the frame.
The amount of time that the authenticator waits before re-transmitting and the maximum number of
times that the authenticator re-transmits are configurable.
