All these conditions were fullfilled during the test. The size of the
installer
increased. The installer prompted about wired interface configuration. The
installer started the .1x configuration service (Wired AutoConfig).

But I needed to set (mark) "Specify authentication mode":
Start; Control Panel; Network and Sharing Center;
Change adaper setting; Local Area Connection; Right click;
Properties; Authentication; Additional Settings;
Mark: Specify authentication mode; OK; OK;
