Ahem:

rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 172.30.0.165 port 6001, id=3,
length=69

       User-Name = "00:19:79:0F:98:3D"
       User-Password = "cnett1298"
       NAS-IP-Address = 172.30.0.165
       NAS-Port = 0

So what is in the username field then? You might not want to - but your
NAS does. You are doing MAC authentication (or filtering if you like
that term better). When you do that, mac address is sent as username.
Perhaps you should read your NAS manual and learn how to use the
equipment.
