You could consider using AuthenticateAttribute and/or NoCheckPassword
(see ref.pdf for more) to change how username lookup is done and if
password checking is needed. Be sure to check Trace 4 log to see how the
SQL queries and Radiator behaviour changes with the above options.

This might be the way to go if you can not configure your wlan gear to
send mac address as username as Mike suggested.

Thanks!
