Radius and MAC Address Access Control

Might I suggest you look into just using PPPoE for wireless applications? You 
can first off make use of WEP to secure the traffic to some extent, then run 
PPPoE (which can authenticate through radius) to have your clients login and 
what-not. This way you can control not only access to the network but also 
access to which IP address(es). 
   We have a similar setup here, where we use private IP's from tower to 
tower and route traffic back to home base, where clients login with PPPoE to 
get an external IP address and it works very well thus far.

Just my 2 cents, if you still want to block/control by mac address why not 
just use a switch which has radius support; eg: Cisco 2924XL.
