The connection is setup like this:
1. Laptop -> AP -> Gateway -> RADIUS & DSL Modem
2. The Gateway redirects clients to a custom web portal on the web.
3. when a client creates an account on the web portal, the web portal 
has a custom login form for the gateway.
4. when the click on submit on the custom login form , it POST's to the 
gateway and the gateway communicates back to the RADIUS and them gives 
them access.

Right now, people are already going through the web portal or are 
already "forced to use the web portal" to get authenticated. so what I 
am asking for is: if there is a way to setup RADIUS to somehow send a 
message or configuration attribute to the gateway to allow any clients 
connected to the gateway to access the internet without extra 
authentication aside from simply connecting to the gateway itself.

Sorry if I was not clear before, I was not asking to bypass RADIUS at 
all, please see the previous message.
