That's the way I read it. I've used RADIUS for other things, but not for wifi. From what I can tell by googling around you can use RADIUS in a wifi network to force users to authenticate to get onto the network. I can't find anything that says the traffic after the authentication is encrypted, but maybe the way it works is that w/o the authentication it won't even send you packets. There's probably another newsgroup out there where the people who specialize in this stuff congregate, you might try looking around a little more.

PS: The Windows "Internet Authentication Service" is their implementation of RADIUS, in case you hadn't already found that.
