Thank you very much, your explanation is perfectly clear. The NAS is a 
D-Link DWL-G700AP with a modified firmware (Wive). I'm trying it because 
I need accounting and the original firmware doesn't send accounting 
packets. I'll try to replace the daemon which does AAA on the NAS OS and 
see if the issue persists.
