  Run the server in debugging mode, and see what the NAS sends in an
Access-Request.  Different NAS vendors (and models) send different
packets as "MAC authentication".  There is NO common method.

  As always, run the server in debugging mode.

  Of course.  But the docs *do* explain what we need for us to be able
to help you: run the server in debugging mode, and post the output here.

  The documentation says this in about 5 places.  The message you are
responding to told you to do this.  You still haven't done it.

  You have a choice: follow the instructions and maybe get the problem
solved, OR ignore the instructions, and have everyone on this list
ignore you as a result.
