  We don't need to see them.

  You're looking at the wrong thing.

  One EAP session sends *many* packets between the user, NAS, and RADIUS server.   If the first 5 packets go back and forth quickly, but the sixth one takes 30 seconds, then you'll get that error.

  I really don't know how to say this any other way.

  The issue is NOT FreeRADIUS.  The issue is the user and/or the NAS (or access point).  Nothing you do to FreeRADIUS will fix the problem.  No amount of looking at the FreeRADIUS logs will fix the problem.
