Since we also use an HP ProCurve WLAN Controller (Colubris Networks was
aquired by HP in 2008) I also found these undocumented attributes in the
radiator logfile. I asked HP for an explanation and finally it became
clear that these attributes are not defined and this is a bug which
exists since many years. They said it will be fixed in one of the next
releases, at least for our product.

My workaround until then: add the following to the dictionary such that
the logfile is not inundated with concerning ERR messages:
VENDORATTR      8744      Colubris-Attr-246     246     string
VENDORATTR      8744      Colubris-Attr-247     247     string
VENDORATTR      8744      Colubris-Attr-248     248     string
VENDORATTR      8744      Colubris-Attr-249     249     string
VENDORATTR      8744      Colubris-Attr-250     250     string
VENDORATTR      8744      Colubris-Attr-251     251     string
VENDORATTR      8744      Colubris-Attr-252     252     string
VENDORATTR      8744      Colubris-Attr-253     253     string
VENDORATTR      8744      Colubris-Attr-254     254     string
