Long authentication times

Well, this is almost exclusively a client-side issue. From FreeRADIUS 
perspective, the job's done as soon as the authentication succeeded.

The issue is that the client may try to ask for an IP address before the port 
is actually opened, and I don't know how to influence timing on an (XP?) 
client.

The only option I see here is for chillispot: it might act a bit more gratious 
when receiving a DHCP request but the port has just not been opened - it 
might let this request through anyways. Or log it, and only answer to it 
after it has opened the port.
In any case nothing where the freeradius-users mailing list could help you, 
sorry.

Stefan
