David, Artur,

This problem appears to be caused by having the Server Authentication
and
Client Authentication properties set in the certificate. If you disable
all
extended certificate properties except the Client Authentication in the
Client certificate on the XP machine the EAP authentication should work.

It worked for me via both Symbol and Orinoco APs with certificates that
I generated with the OpenCA certificate authority.

Cheers,
