Oh great! The topic is advancing... Thank you all for the input.

I have to take a look if the RADIUS supports TLS 1.0, but I'd rather not
use that deprecated protocol as it is deemed unsafe, so it wouldn't help
anyway.

The reason, why I would use this: You can dynamically assign VLAN Tags
depending on the RADIUS account used to authenticate.
Advantage: You do not have to create a multi SSID environment where each
SSID has a different VLAN assigned. So especially in dense WLAN
environments, you can use only one SSID, but still separate your devices
into groups with different access rights.

I'm currently not thinking about building my own firmware. I have alredy
compiled software for my Debian box, but what I read here about making
firmware for a Squeezebox makes me feel underqualified to even try this
without risking to brick the device. So my deepest respect for everyone
that does it.

When I read about "it has only to be compiled with other build options",
I cannot discern if this is just a minor change, that I would like to
see included in the next update or if this might raise some major
issues, that would incur weeks of debugging... So I hope, ralphy will
tell me about it ;)
