We have tested PEAP here with Cisco 340 access points and XP (SP1). It is very 
important that you have the latest firmware for both the AP and the client 
wireless card. If you do that and configure Radiator properly it will work 
fine. We have not tested 350s.

If you have any Radiator problems, send the Radiator log file and config file 
(no secrets) to the Radiator mailing list (dont forget to subscribe :-))

Cheers.
