Alan,

my test pc only supports PEAP over wireless and setup has to be wireless.

Removing "ldap" from the "authenticate" section causes an EAP error,
so I guess there is more configuration than simply removing /
commenting that section out.

I dont know how to not bind as a user when using FR + LDAP, no
document I have seen so far seems to cover it.

What encryption do you use for the ldap password in radius.conf ? so
that anonymous searches are not needed.
