Our experience very much parallel's Lee's despite our use of MS IAS RADIUS rather than free radius.
Not to muddy this particular thread but our Mac experience with PEAP is quite reasonable. However it appears there is a huge issue with the new MacBook Pro laptops connecting to an 802.1x PEAP environment. The issue is reproducible here and at lots of other schools it seems based on the Apple discussion forums.

We have this scenario in a pilot environment. We have not seen the symptom you describe. On the other hand I have observed an occasional "validating identity" if a user is on the network for a very long time causing the connection to hang ( a few hours), but this has been sporadic and I'm still trying to see if there is a pattern to it. Please share your results if you do learn something from your debug process and we will do the same!

Ultimately, this session goes nowhere. But turn off radio or remove card and wait hours, all is well again and the next "initial" connection flies right through. > >Am starting the debug process, but wondering if this has already been experienced by someone that might be able to enlighten me? > >Thanks- and Happy St. Patty's Day! > >Lee > >Lee Badman >Network Engineer >CWNA, CWSP >Information Technology and Services >(Formerly Computing and Media Services) >Syracuse University >(315) 443-3003 >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >********** >Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. > > > ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
