A question about EAP-FAST wi-fi security compatibility of the stock 4.3 OS

As late as version 4.2, stock Android was using an outdated version of wpa_supplicant, resulting in incompatibility with some of the newer encryption methods on wi-fi systems.
Has anyone here used a 4.3 device to connect to an EAP-FAST network?
If not, would it be possible for any of you to check whether it is available as an option? If you try to manually create a new wireless network and select 802.1x EAP as the security protocol, does it populate FAST as a possible EAP method?
IMHO, this is important for two reasons:
- More and more public wifi systems are shifting to these newer security methods.
- Apple already supports it. :(

This is such a big irritant for me, I think I will become a CM contributor just to get this working. :-|
Thanks for the quick reply, Pat.
