
EAP-Packet: Both the supplicant and authenticator send this packet, when the
authentication is taking place. This is the packet that contains either the
MD5-Challenge or TLS information required for authentication.

EAPOL-Start: This supplicant sends this packet, when it wants to initiate the
authentication process.

EAPOL-Logoff: The supplicant sends this packet, when it wants to terminate
its 802.1x session.

EAPOL-Key: This is used for the TLS authentication method. The Wireless AP
uses this packet to send the calculated WEP key to the supplicant after the
TLS negotiation has completed between the supplicant and RADIUS server.
