EAP-MD5 does *not* generate anything for the WPA/WPA2 pairwise keys.
You therefore *can't* use it in any wireless setup that requires dynamic
keys generated at association time (i.e. all of them that would be using
EAP).

Try EAP-PEAP-MSCHAPv2; that seems to be fairly well supported by most
RADIUS servers, and the PEAP part can generate a long random key.  (But
anything that takes a username and password, other than EAP-MD5, should
also work.)
