It's hard to say it's "overkill" for your use case. For just radius auth
and mac-auth is a pretty straight forward setup, and you can make it
"lighter" by disabling some of the services you don't need. Since it keeps
a record of all your devices authenticating against it, it's a pretty handy
database of whats on your network. Great replacement for NPS in my opinion.

Thank you. PacketFence seems overkill for our use case. But all our
attempts to use FreeRadius and configured it ourselves have only half
worked. Sometimes we get the user authenticated. But we have never been
able to do mac address authentication. It just seems that packetfence put a
lot of design into configuration options. Does anyone that is currently
using packetfence recommend something more 'light' for configuring
FreeRadius so that we can use it to do both mac address and user based
authentication for wireless access?

Hello David,

yes of course you can use packetfence just for radius and btw disable 
some useless services.

[PacketFence-users] just discovered packetfence

I have been impressed with the breadth of features. However, for our
school, 802.1x auth is really overkill for us. However, we were intrigued
with the possibility of using RADIUS Auth in packetfence in order to turn
off our Microsoft NPS role on our servers. Does anyone use packetfence just
for the radius option?
