That was one of the first things I checked, the root certificate is the 
ONLY one checked in the windows 7 certificate dialogue.  also, wireless 
clients work with this exact setup (all of them!), but so far, this 
wired client doesn't seem to want to.

I did eventually find a "sorta" fix.  I had jumbo frames enabled, 
disabling them fixed the problem temporarily.  the problem has returned 
in a different form now.  the radius server doesn't even see the auth 
requests now, and the client just won't even try to authenticate.  I 
think this qualifies as a different issue, that I need to pursue 
separately.  should I follow up here, or is it an issue I should contact 
my switch manufacturer about, or is it a windows problem?
