Freeradius 2.0.5 simple configuration fail

firstly, 2.0.5 is hideously old - and very very buggy.  2.1.x should be
a minimum. can you get your package folk to upgrade their FreeRADIUS package?


secondly, change your default eap type in the eap.conf to peap - you seem to have md5 
which means a lot of NAK junk - this streamlines EAP.   you cant do md5 with wireless.

from a quick look i'd say things should be okay - make the EAP change and
see if the AP plays nicely
