Yes....
EAP MD5-Challenge requires that the user database have a User-Password check 
item containing the plaintext password. It must be User-Password and not 
Password (ie the spelling of the check item is important)

There were somwe patches and fixes to EAP in 3.0 and 3.1, plus subsequent 
patches. As Hugh says it would probably be best to upgrade. I cant think of 
any issues that would stop 2.19 working with EAP M5, but I may be wrong.

Further than that , we would need to see a Trace level 4 log file.

Cheers.
