Ok... I will go on debugging when I got it running without engine. If
you have some hints where to start it, I would be happy (otherwise I
start grepping through the code). At the moment I am still working with
wpa_supplicant 0.5.9 since I integrated the TPM engine into that version
and 0.6 brought a lot of changes. Seems like I have to reimplement my
integration in version 0.6. So if there is not strong need to change the
version, I would prefer to postpone it.

Is that a problem of FreeRADIUS? As I wrote, I also do not use the
newest wpa_supplicant. But anyhow, I upgraded the FreeRADIUS to version
2.1.1. I also tried it with the latest version from git (2.1.2). But I
get still the same error. I attached the complete log to this mail.

Ok, changed that.
