Communication between hostap and Radius Server (several hops away)

[Douglas Diniz]

Hi, I have several terminals with hostap installed. I need to
authenticate them in a Radius Server (Freeradius), but the radius
server is several hops away from the terminals. Do I need some type of
proxy to do this? I also need to encrypt the packets between hostap
and freeradius. Someone could give me some directions?

Thanks.......
