I need to authenticate a user if there Username (MAC Address) is in the
radcheck table, regardless of the password that is sent.  The Freeradius
FAQ says this:

5.5     How do I permit access to any user regardless of password?
        DEFAULT Auth-Type = Accept

I do not understand where I would put this in mysql.  Is this in the
usergroup table? Could I put it into one of the files and tell radius to
look at that instead of mysql?  Someone please help me here...

Thanks,
Mike Hall

Why bother with checking the password anyway?

Here's what I use on my Cisco 350's:

xxxxxxxxxxxx Auth-Type == Accept, NAS-Port-Type == Wireless-802.11

Actually checking the password sent from a Cisco AP during MAC address
authentication is kind of pointless since it's such a weak password.  I
know less about how the Orinoco handles MAC address authentication but
it doesn't sound like Orinoco's scheme is much of an improvement.
