      Description of problem:
      We encounter failures in 8021x_hostapd_freeradius_doc_procedure which are pretty frequent on el8 (in default machines and VMs) that wpa_supplicant can't get a reply. We don't have yet a definite proof that this doesn't happen somewhere in the setup, hopefully integration of tcpdumps will shed some light on it soon.

      Most of the times, wpa_supplicant called by NM is affected but sometimes even wpa_supplicant called from shell (see Behave reports that will be attached)

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      NM upstream and downstream
      8.6 and 8.7 versions of wpa_supplicant, hostapd and freeradius, e.g.:
      wpa_supplicant-2.10-1.el8.x86_64
      hostapd-2.10-1.el8.x86_64
      freeradius-3.0.20-12.module+el8.6.0+13617+542eca26.x86_64

      How reproducible:
      frequently but not always
