cool. last time i checked you couldnt use MD5 as a method for wireless 802.1X
- there are only certain EAP types that can be used - PEAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS 
etc being some of them. MD5 is fine for wired because - ha ha - wired 802.1X
is a bit of a joke really - all it does is authenticate you, there is no
link layer encryption going on - unlike WPA Enterprise wireless - which all gets
encapsulated in an EAP tunnel - hence you need specific types of EAP for wifi

..all you need to do to get this working is set the RADIUS server up to have a
certificate signed by a known (ie in windows, MACOSX  and linux) CA and use
PEAP on your clients
