  No.  For Tunnel-Medium-Type, "802" is a *name*, not a *number*.    See
Section 3.2 of RFC 2868:

...
   Value
      The Value field is three octets and contains one of the values
      listed under "Address Family Numbers" in [14].  For the sake of
      convenience, a relevant excerpt of this list is reproduced below.

   1      IPv4 (IP version 4)
   2      IPv6 (IP version 6)
   3      NSAP
   4      HDLC (8-bit multidrop)
   5      BBN 1822
   6      802 (includes all 802 media plus Ethernet "canonical format")
...

  FreeRADIUS gets it *right*.  Many NAS vendors get it *wrong*.

  Or:  Tunnel-Medium-Type = IEEE-802

  Arg.  Microsoft keeps putting magic nonsense into their OS's to make
it difficult to use non-Microsoft RADIUS servers.

  And yes, this *is* a problem even inside of Microsoft!  So if you're
finding it a PITA to get it working, rest assured that Microsoft does, too.
