TLS failing with Linksys WPC54G and WRK54G

I hope somebody can offer me some insight into this. I cannot for the 
life of me get my Linksys WPC54GV4 to connect with WPA (EAP-TLS) to the 
WRK54G.

I am using ndiswrapper 0.11, 2.6.7 kernel, wpa_supplicant 2.5.

This works fine under XP, so I know that Radius is working properly etc.
If I turn off all encryption then things work fine under Linux.  WPA 
with pre-shared keys also works fine under Linux, but with WPA/EAP-TLS, 
the AP never even tries to contact the radius server.
I also tried configuring other methods like PEAP etc just to see if the 
radius server would see any requests, but nothing every happened.

I tried the xsupplicant integration too, but that didn't produce any 
results either.

What am I missing?  Config snippet and -dd output are below.
