If you have included MD5 in your eap.conf, it will work whether other  EAP 
types, TLS or PEAP, are the default. The following has always worked for me. 
I'm assuming that you are doing this on a wired port and the NAS is 
configured properly. From the description of your problem, I am guessing it 
is not.

eap {
	default_eap_type = peap
	ignore_unknown_eap_types = no
	md5 {
	}
	.
	.
	.
}
