After some research, it seems that wpa_supplicant is supposed to indeed
react to the requests identity with a repsonse identity. It does not
however. I verified that the multicast address as used by the switch
is the correct one. On the other hand it seems that the request identity
is not received..
I tried debugging and it seems that indeed nothing is received (I asume
that reception of packets is handled in eloop.c:eloop_run(),
and I see no calling of eloop_sock_table_dispatch() there.

Right now, I can't find thee place where a socket is created from which
to read the multicast frames.
