Should I log this as a bug in freeradius?

Exactly, I've read the PDF file, the only instructions that make  
reference to freeradius are as follows:

"3. OpenSSL and FreeRADIUS setup
To configure these two components, please see http://www.missl.cs.umd.edu/wireless/eaptls/ 
.
In order to work with XP, the FreeRADIUS version must be equal to or  
greater than the April 15, 2002 CVS version."

As I pointed out, the link to http://www.missl.cs.umd.edu/wireless/eaptls/ 
  is broken.

Does this have an URL?
