No, I didn't use the openwrt wiki. Maybe I didn't found enough info, or
there weren't any articles about freeradius at that time.

Creating, managing SSL: SSL Certificates HOWTO (please google, I don't
have the links anymore because i downloaded the html version) and
http://www.madboa.com/geek/openssl/

And for Freeradius+WPA I used the howto from the freeradius website:
http://wiki.freeradius.org/HOWTO (But I used the method for managing
certificates from the HOWTO before).

My WLAN setup didn't have much to do with openwrt (except freeradius
runs under openwrt and I had to tell the nas to take tha radius server
at localhost).

In my freeradius config i stripped almost everything which wasn't needed
for doing EAP+TLS.

Hope this helps.

Philipp
