If there's nothing yet, maybe they can create a wiki page for it? I'd be 
willing to edit the entries, either on the wiki if I can get an account, 
or offline and batch up the responses into wiki markup.

I have Cisco on the wired side, Meru and BlueSocket on the wireless. I 
haven't done RADIUS on the wireless yet, but can try it out and check 
the values (probably meaningless) sometime.

PS - I recently heard about PacketFence for the first time on a podcast 
(don't remember which one). Sounds like a very interesting and useful 
project.
