Just to clarify a little bit further, wpa_supplicant provided cli takes 
care of authentication and tnc's end point assessment. Once it is done, 
NM or network scripts takes care of setting up networking as usual. I 
have not checked if the current support of wpa_supplicant in NM is 
enough for this.
