I'm using cvs version of madwifi-bsd-20050530 but with an older one 
there was the same problem.
Can you give me some hints about the authorization steps i.e. with which 
message you are sure the
radius client has authorized us and what if authorization fails.
Also there would be nice that there is a log message if the server is 
authenticatete (wpa_supplicant)

Where can I get info about the patch, but I think this is a very new 
version so the patch should be applied already?

BTW: What kind of help can you need with the project?

Thanks
