This isn't a high traffic list, sometimes a reply takes a few days.

Radius is the protocol to support. For best results, the authentication
should be handled at the AP level. Putting it at the client level
demands control over the clients to know that they all support what you
want. But this depends on the type of wireless network you are talking
about. If you have a fixed wireless bridged network, (like Trango,
Motorola Canopy) using PPoE at the client's router/pc and having your
PPoE server check against radius may be the way to go.
