Description of problem:

[ENVIRONMENT]
Wired network with VMWare Player 6 in bridged networking mode running on RHEL machine.

Customer is running authentication on a wired network. About once per day, the authentication session expires and the wpa_supplicant gets a request to re-authenticate. Everything works fine, until a VM is started inside the RHEL machine using VMWare player in bridged mode, and the VM needs to authenticate itself as well. When EAP packets are sent to the guest, not only the VM is responding, but also the wpa_supplicant on the host is responding (RHEL). So in short, the host is responding to the EAP packets no matter if the packets are destined to the guest and this causes the "wpa_cli status" throwing errors. When same VM is running on a Windows host, the issue is not present as the host does not reply to the traffic being sent to the guest.
Also, when KVM is used instead of VMWare player, issue cannot be reproduced. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wpa_supplicant-0.7.3-8.el6_8.1.x86_64

How reproducible:
I am not sure whether we can set same environment so we can reproduce the issue. 


Actual results:
wpa_supplicant configured on RHEL host is responding to packets destined for a VM guest running on the host.

Expected results:
wpa_supplicant to not interfere with packets destined to different machine.
