Hi,

If you have at least 10.4.8 OS X version, you have all types of 802.1x 
built in (including TTLS-PAP) ... no need to install other supplicats. 
Only problem is that sometimes the automathic detection of 
authentication type selects wrong method.

Go to System Preference / Network / Airport  and enter the 802.1x 
details manualy.
