MAC Auth (new problem)

[Nataniel Klug]

Leigh and Ivan,

I have a system that works on my WISP and this program is not hackable 
(economic reasons -- this would cost too much to alter). As I already 
have all my clients MAC address into radcheck table (as a value for 
Calling-Station-Id) why can't I use this MAC to authenticate it in my 
NAS/AP? This is my question. Why can't I look for the MAC in another 
colum besides "Username" colum? There should be some way cheaper to me...
