Lots of people have done this. However, you haven't given enough info 
for us to help you. In fact, you've given *NO* info. See here:

http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Essays/smart-questions.html

Also, have you tried running the server in debug mode, as documented in 
the README? This will tell you what the server is doing when things 
"aren't working".

When installing FreeRadius 2.0.1, the only thing you should need is to 
add this to /etc/raddb/users

username	Cleartext-Password := "thepassword"

...and it should work. If it doesn't, by far the most likely explanation 
is that you have the Cisco AP configured incorrectly; you will need to 
examine the Cisco documentation, this is not a Cisco support list.
