if the server doesnt even see the auth attempts when the client is physically
connected to the switch then take a good long look at the switch.

use all the commands etc that you can on that switch - the show commands,
the debug commands etc to find out what its doing or failing to do. we've had
quite a few issues over the years with manufacturers and how they read the
specs - life wouldnt be the same without a few interesting firmware
upgrades (and cryptic changelogs that come with them). we had a recent one where 
cisco voip firmware blocked EAP-TLS through the softswitch - kinda annoying.


Sounds more like REALLY F'ing annoying to me!  But it's probably just me :)
