WiMAX TLV value correct in debug but not correct in packet capture

Strange indeed.

I just rebuilt a new server on a newer os (and 64 bit vs 32), and I am
still seeing the same issue.

I must have something messed up somewhere. Only thing is order of the
whole structure is different from my prod, but that shouldn't matter.

Here's my eap.conf just in case there is something worth looking at,
most significant changes that I've done here is "copy_request_to_tunnel
= yes" and  "use_tunneled_reply = yes":

#  Whatever you do, do NOT set 'Auth-Type := EAP'.  The server
#  is smart enough to figure this out on its own.  The most
#  common side effect of setting 'Auth-Type := EAP' is that the
#  users then cannot use ANY other authentication method.
#
#  EAP types NOT listed here may be supported via the "eap2" module.
#  See experimental.conf for documentation.

        #  type they will be using, so it MUST be set here.
        #
        #  For now, only one default EAP type may be used at a time.
        #
        #  If the EAP-Type attribute is set by another module,
        #  then that EAP type takes precedence over the
        #  default type configured here.

        #  There are many EAP types, but the server has support

        #  a request for an EAP type it does not support, then
        #  it normally rejects the request.  By setting this
        #  configuration to "yes", you can tell the server to
        #  instead keep processing the request.  Another module
        #  MUST then be configured to proxy the request to
        #  another RADIUS server which supports that EAP type.
        #
        #  If another module is NOT configured to handle the
        #  request, then the request will still end up being

        #  the User-Password.
        #
        #  Proxying the tunneled EAP-GTC session is a bad idea,
        #  the users password will go over the wire in plain-text,

            #  authentication.  This allows the EAP-GTC
            #  response to be checked against plain-text,
            #  or crypt'd passwords.
            #
            #  If you say "Local" instead of "PAP", then

            #  configured for the request, and do the

        #  file in raddb/certs
        #
        #  These test certificates SHOULD NOT be used in a normal
        #  deployment.  They are created only to make it easier
