Description Ari Entlich 2015-04-30 10:52:21 UTC 
The description for the uncommon-eap-types USE flag is given as "Add support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup". This is the same as the description for the wps flag, so I'm guessing this is a copy-paste error.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Francisco Blas Izquierdo Riera (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-05-26 08:38:57 UTC 
According to the ebuild these are the EAP types enabled:
                Kconfig_style_config EAP_GPSK
                Kconfig_style_config EAP_SAKE
                Kconfig_style_config EAP_GPSK_SHA256
                Kconfig_style_config EAP_IKEV2
                Kconfig_style_config EAP_EKE

So something like: "Add support for uncommon EAP exchanges (GPSK, SAKE, GPSK_SHA256, IKEV2 and EKE)" may be the best choice.

As a side note all these use a Preshared secret (although IKE may also use asymmetric cryptography).
