bug: HTTPError: unrecognized key type: Ed25519

[SgtPooki]

Related to task being tracked in https://github.com/ipfs/js-kubo-rpc-client/issues/56: https://github.com/ipfs/js-kubo-rpc-client/issues/144

Note that I am getting this error as i'm trying to migrate webui to kubo-rpc-client

• branch https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-webui/tree/esm/kubo-rpc-client
• https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-webui/issues/2079

I have almost everything working, but when I run e2e tests, I'm getting the following failures in the ipns.test.js:

  1) explore.test.js:20:3 › Explore screen › should open arbitrary CID =============================
