dont do this. just dont do this at all. read the docs.

192.168.10.1 is the freeradius server? if so, just keep this as 127.0.0.1.

that wont work. radtest is a very basic program that does basic plain authentication
to FreeRADIUS. if you want to test EAP, you'll need to use the EAP test program...and
do a straight plain test that way - radeapclient (read the docs and examples). for
more extensive EAP tests you need to use a full-fledged tool.... eg wpa_supplicant
(read the eap-testing.txt doc that comes with that!)

exactly. this says its not doing EAP
