Wireless woes

Per my boss' orders I am trying to install a wireless access system and have it use Radius
Authentication via windows 2003 server IAS service. I have Radius setup for
users that dial into our network and it works fine.
However, the wireless
stuff requires a parameter called a LAT-group, which I can configure in IAS, to
determine access rights via wireless. BUT, the wireless, for some strange reason,
when I put a sniffer on the network traffic is waiting for type of reply from
the radius server, but I can't tell with the sniffer what the heck it is waiting
for.
SO, I ended ditching that and loading a server with Fedora Core 3 Linux and
installed Free Radius on it. It fails the authentication, and the user name/passwd/Lat group
is in the radius conf file, By this time it was 0130 am and I went home and
crashed and I am back here at it again. Anyone around here experienced setting up a
wireless system using Radius? Any hints???
