Thats pretty much what I am doing at the moment - except no Radius
server, the MAC addresses are in the AP. Having spent a frustrating
few days trying to get XP to connect (which involved turning off all
authentication and encryption,connecting, applying over 20 different patches
with Windows Update and then turning it all back one one at a time, finally

to the sever directlt.y

Actually, from everything people have said about radius I suspect I am better
off not touching it with a barge pole. Still, always good to know
