  The point of the debug output is to READ IT.  Honestly...

  You're seeing a Calling-Station-Id in an Access-Request.  That's nice.
 But you're not seeing the Calling-Station-Id in an Accounting-Request.
 And then blaming FreeRADIUS when the SQL insert doesn't contain the
Calling-Station-Id.

  Well... it doesn't exist in the accounting request.  If you want it in
the accounting request, go fix the NAS.  The NAS is the one sending the
packet.  It's not sending Calling-Station-Id in the accounting packet.

  Or, update the "post-auth" configuration to write the
Calling-Station-Id to the accounting tables.  From the debug log, all
packets contain an Acct-Session-Id and Acct-Multi-Session-Id.  So you
can use those to track a unique session.
