help me out.

Yes, you can configure one instance to act as both the
authenticator for
the local wireless radio and as a RADIUS server for other
devices. Both
cases share the same configuration for EAP (including the
eap_server=1
to enable EAP server functionality). If you then add
radius_server_*
options, the RADIUS server functionality will be enabled.
You can leave
out the auth_server_* parameters since RADIUS is not
actually used for
the internal authentication case at all.
