Testing EAP-PEAP with freeradius

[Bin Chen]

By checking the radius log, I found this:

  rad_check_password:  Found Auth-Type EAP
auth: type "EAP"
  Processing the authenticate section of radiusd.conf
modcall: entering group authenticate for request 7
  rlm_eap: Request found, released from the list
  rlm_eap: EAP/mschapv2
  rlm_eap: processing type mschapv2
  ERROR: Unknown value specified for Auth-Type.  Cannot perform 
requested action.
  rlm_eap: Freeing handler
  modcall[authenticate]: module "eap" returns reject for request 7
modcall: group authenticate returns reject for request 7
auth: Failed to validate the user.
