Nope. 802.1X might originally have been intended for Ethernet, but I suspect
the most common use is on 802.11 LANs these days with WPA/WPA2.
However, given that it's 802.1X, not 802.11X, it seems odd that it's calling
back to the 802.11 dissector. I'll have to read the 802.1X spec and see how it
works with various LAN technologies and see if that can be improved.
(If improving it means that we don't have to re-parse EAPOL frames in the
AirPDCap code, that might be good.)
