Hello,
I'm trying FreeRadius with Mikrotik WiFi AP and EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 
authentication, so far with a user in mods-config/files/authorize and 
a cleartext password.
So far unsuccessfully, I probably have more errors in the configuration 
that I'm trying to fix.

One specific ambiguity: which NAS type should be listed in the NAS 
specification in clients.conf - "other", "mikrotik" or "mikrotik_snmp"?

The original clients.conf template in the paragraph

"The nas_type tells 'checkrad.pl' which NAS-specific method to use to 
query the NAS for simultaneous use. Permitted NAS types are"

lists 13 types incl. "other", "mikrotik" is not among them.
But the checkrad man page lists 25 types, including "mikrotik_snmp" and 
"mikrotik".

From this it seems to me that nas_type should not be "other", but 
"mikrotik" or "mikrotik_snmp".
Can anyone advise which one and what is the difference between them?
