EAP was added to the auth methods list in svn r4358.  If you uncheck it,
EAP authentication requests will be refused.  Please let me know if it

> Due to this and many other problems with NM 0.7, it seems that we have Regression Potential here, but that would be a problem for those who require 0.7 because they require some of the new features such as Wireless Broadband and DSL. I'm stumped, because it just seems that we've moved ahead to 0.7 and can't regress without hurting the people using/requiring the new features and device types in 0.7.
