    Most of the OSS radius servers that I have seen allow you to run an app
    when the user attempts to authenticate. (I have only done this with
    cistron, though I know gnu-radius and freeradius both support it.) You can
    use that app to add the MAC to the DB. The "fun" part is getting the MAC
    from the user. If you can do that, then you're good to go.
