Like I said, try to make it (TTLS) work with a D-link. I know the conventional wisdom that a particular should support all EAP types if it supports one, but in the real world, that is flat out wrong. Because manufacturers do stupid things to their AP's does not mean my understanding is limited, lol. I understand full well the EAP protocol, but I am not a manufacturer who seeks to 'limit' features (such as the 3Com that only supports EAP-MD5, or D-link, for that matter). Have you used these AP's and tried to make it work beyond the functionality they advertise?? I have. Vendors do dumb things, that is the way of the world. So I agree with you in principle, that is how things should be; but we all know that how things SHOULD WORK is not often how they really do.
