  Do the AP's send RADIUS requests to authenticate the MAC when they see
a new machine?  If not, you can't do it.

  Yes, you can authenticate them with the MAC.  See what is in the
RADIUS Access-Request from the NAS, then use that as keys for local
policies.

  Unfortunately, you're being told to go read the NAS documentation.
Then, if what you want is possible, come back here for more FreeRADIUS
questions.
