It depends on what EAP method you want to use. If you just want to test
something simple, PEAP with MSCHAPv2 has been available for a long time
in various Windows versions. It could be configured with following style
hostapd.eap_use entries:

*		PEAP
"user"	MSCHAPV2	"password"

Which would match those entries above.
