[RADIATOR] EAP outer handler problems

I saw similar symptom before. My problem was attributed to a server (one
runs Radiator) cert problem as I used self-signed cert in the test env and
the window XP WLAN client somehow not warned the user about it. It all
worked once I unselect cert check on the client. Of course, this is only
acceptable in test env..:-)

Based on this observation, you may want to check to see if your server cert
has been expired... Just a thought.

Thanks Hugh,
I didn't notice the EAP-Message attribute but I am happy to here that is
a client problem, there seems to be a lot of them.
