  For wireless connections, the device doesn't *have* an IP until after
it's authenticated.  The IP might show up in an accounting packet.  Or
it might not.  See the documentation on the WiFi access point.

  If the IP doesn't show up in an accounting packet, then you need to
use something other than RADIUS to find out the IP.
