You need to configure Auth-Type = EAP for the user "happy". Also configure EAP in authorize & authenticate sections of radiusd.conf > The part that I cannot figure is the phantom password.

Your 3com client is sending an EAP message to the 3com Access point(AP) and the AP is framing the RADIUS packet with EAP in it. so Enabling EAP authentication in the RADIUS server will help you. -Raghu - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
