(RADIATOR) EAP-MD5 WEP Key Rotation

[Steve Caporossi]

Sorry for the delay in replying...I've been working on some other 
wireless issues.

I got this from the Radiator Manual...
  23.1 EAP MD5-Challenge

In EAP MD5-Challenge, the Radius server sends a random challenge to the 
client. The client forms an MD5 hash of the user's password and the 
challenge and sends the result back to the server. The server then 
validates the MD5 hash using the known correct plaintext password from 
the user database. EAP MD5-Challenge does support dynamic WEP keys.

Note the last sentence above.
