O WPA2 e o EAP normalmente não são implementados pelo dispositivo no hardware, mas no software. No Linux, este wpa_supplicant é o programa usado para isso, e funciona com praticamente todos os dispositivos WiFi.
Existe uma maneira de descobrir com ferramentas como o iw se um dispositivo WiFi funciona com um WiFi 5GHZ WPA2-EAP?
Aqui está a saída do meu dispositivo específico (mas as perguntas são direcionadas para encontrar uma resposta geral)
