win2k dhcp IP assignment problem

[Sujith]

Hi,

hostapd runs on a Redhat 7.3 box with 2.4 kernel.The box is in
bridge mode.2 ethernet interfaces eth2 & eth3 are bridged by an interface,
br0 - on which hostapd runs.
the win2k box is connected to eth2 interface.
eth3 is plugged to the LAN.

a separate FC2 box runs FreeRadius & dhcpd.

On activating the net connection on the Win box, I get an authorization popup 
dialog, but on typing ipconfig/all I can see an assigned IP before I submit 
my user name & password.

my hostapd.conf :
***************

interface=br0
driver=wired
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=1
debug=2
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
wpa=0
auth_algs=3
ieee8021x=1
eap_reauth_period=3600
eapol_key_index_workaround=0

own_ip_addr=<ip>

nas_identifier=<id>

auth_server_addr=<radius ip>
auth_server_port=1812
auth_server_shared_secret=secret

**************************


Now, is the above setup appropriate for achieving wired authentication ?


thanks for the help guys,

regards,
Sujith
