Wireless Networking using RADIUS

We are looking at implementing a RADIUS server on Windows 2003 server for wireless client authentication. I have been told that you can set up RADIUS security for wireless on the server, but am not sure how to go about it.

Can anyone offer some help on this topic or at least point in the right direction? Maybe a step-by-step procedure is available on the net that I haven't yet come across?

Additionally, is there any other free RADIUS server for use with wireless authentication that can be implemented without too much trouble? I have heard of freeRADIUS, but am not that familiar with Linux.

Thanks in advance.

RushB & everyone else that replied,

Thank you for the links and advice.

We are using a combination of CISCO Aironet 350 and 1200 series APs.

From what I've seen, aironet 350 products (APs and cards) do not support WPA or any of the newer security. Can anyone verify this?

Can you recommend a suitable wireless LAN card for clients (notebook computers)?

Thanks again.

Did you figure out if you can do WPA with the 350 AP's? I totally forgot about checking for you.

Thanks,
