Freeradius and Alvarion

I got the below info from some guys who support Alvarion Wimax and they say
all is ready on the Alverion staff only left with changes on the radius
server. I have to have the string below ready(still don't know how to come
up with such a string). 

Yes, mac auth is just a pap request where mac address is sent as username...
Do I need to change the setup for the radius server to expect a MAC address
and not a username and password.

Pointers from alvarion guys

"With regards to the VSA's (vendor specific attributes) that the base
station requires is as follows:

n=Service_name:v=<VLAN_list>:h=ON/OFF:a=<OFF/ON,VLAN_ID>:c=ON/OFF

n=Service_name                    (Servive profile created on the BS)
:v=<VLAN_list>                    (list of VLANS allowed on this link blank
if untagged)
:h=ON/OFF                           (Hybrid mode on or off)
:a=<OFF/ON,VLAN_ID>    ( Access VLAN on or off and if on the VLAN ID
:c=ON/OFF                            ( VLAN Classification Mode on or off)

The string needs to be sent as one continuous string as in the example
above."

Yes, mac auth is just a pap request where mac address is sent as username.
Is it possible and how to set it up - read Alvarion manual or ask *their*
technical support.
