Never heard of the access point you speak of, but yes, you'll need an access point that supports radius authentication. Check your product documentation and specifications.
My Orinoco equipment sends the MAC address as the username and the radius shared secret as the password. I enabled and configured radius authentication using the access point configuration software that came with my equipment.

My wireless devices are connected to the AP @192.168.2.100 ~198 My AP is 192.168.2.100, my linux is 192.168.2.199 Right now, I have installed a software called NTRadping, I have tested the radius server Authentication Request, it's OK and accept. (I am using user/group on radius.) Do I need a special feature on my access point? I am looking a solution to authenticate my wireless devices, any suggestion? Thanks!!
