How do you do authentication now?

I think you need to read up on authentication in general. Radius is an
authentication protocol. There are lots of questions to the list about
EAP/TLS and wireless authentication. 

Basically, your access point has to support authentication via Radius.
Freeradius is a daemon that will check user/password combinations via
existing mechanisms (LDAP, SQL, PAM) or via it's own users file.

- If you access point doesn't support Radius, then what authentication
does it use?
- Can you make this authentication mechanism query a Radius server?
