I haven't taken a close look at xsupplicant, and I realize this is somewhat off topic, but do you happen to know off the top of your head whether xsupplicant can talk directly to FreeRADIUS as a UDP client without going through a NAS of some description?
No. Xsupplicant is an EAP client. It needs to talk to something like a wireless AP, which will act as an EAP server to xsupplicant, and as a RADIUS client to FreeRADIUS.
So you've got to write an EAP server. It shouldn't be too bad, as you've got free client & server code already. And a free EAP server will allow a UNix box to act as a wireless AP, which they can't do right now.
That is, a free EAP server will probably receive significant input from the free software community.
A starting point might be the code for such an authenticator - don't know how good/stable it is - in the cvs from open1x at sourceforge
