It seems to me that a radius server would be one of the components in an EAP
system:

For some unknown reason, the rfc (2284) assumes that CHAP is more secure
than PAP so you must use CHAP.

Subject: (RADIATOR) Radiator and EAP
Someone within our organization has asked about Radiator and
EAP. I don't know much about EAP except that it is the
802.1x-based Extensible Authentication Protocol and is somehow
linked to RADIUS servers. Apparently the Cisco Aironet 350
series wireless gear uses to handle authentication and distribution
of keys for WEP encryption. I have just exhausted my knowledge
of this technology.
Is this something that Radiator potentially could do, or would
Radiator be a RADIUS server to which the EAP server would refer?
Any information would be appreciated.
