EAP-FAST is enabled in wpa_supplicant's configuration and should work,
but off hand I have no way to actually test it against a network using
it.

Is there a particular reason why you're using wext as wpa-driver? 
Modern linux wlan drivers, basically all except staging ones, are 
mac80211 based and according use cfg80211 and the nl80211 wpa-driver.
While the kernel's cfg80211 subsystem has a basic wext compatibility 
layer, it is considered to be strongly discouraged and has known 
problems and bugs. If your wlan card is using a mainline (non-staging)
driver, you should always prefer nl80211 (which is default, unless
specifically overriden in your wpa_supplicant configuration).

Which wlan card/ driver and kernel version are you using?
