something similar was asked on BAWUG a while ago:

why not IPSec? Another thing: the Message-Authenticator attribute is
required for 802.1x but I think its independent of that, and can be 
used to sign packets that dont include eap.

not exactly. Depending on your setup one may be better than the other.

There are many implementations of PAP+SSL (the WLAN NAS has a web 
browser) which are reasonably secure. Then there are some that dont
use SSL and you should then use chap (PAP would send your password 
in the clear to the NAS).
