Try and capture the output of radiusd -X when it fails. The debug
output isn't of much use because it all (from the FreeRADIUS side
anyway) succeeded just fine.

If it's just you using it, just run it in -X outputting to a file
until it breaks so you can capture the debug.

If the broken auth still says Access-Accept in the debug, you need
to be looking elsewhere for the problem.

However, save yourself one round trip. Change the default eap type
in the eap module configuration from md5 to peap.

You should also install and use version 3.0.11. Version 2 is end
of life now, so there's no point starting out and learning on
something obsolete. 2.1.12 is ancient.
