Hello Barry,

you should check how you have configured the EAPType option.

For example, if you have:
  EAPType PAP, PEAP

the error message can be triggered because PAP is not an EAP type.
Unknown EAP types can cause the above error.

Also, the EAP related messages have changed between versions. Which
Radiator version are you using?

A different category are messages which complain about unknown EAP types
such as Radius::EAP_123. These can be caused by out of sequence,
corrupted or otherwise unexpected messages. These are sometimes seen.
