This is a NAS specific feature, FreeRADIUS cannot request that the Access Point send \
it any more information thats not how RADIUS works. FreeRADIUS will decode and \
display all attributes in an incoming packet.

Access Points which support this feature will send the IP address of the device in a \
delayed Accounting Request start packet or an Accounting Request interim update \
packet. They almost always need to be configured to do this, so I suggest you go and \
read the manual for your device to determine whether it supports this feature.
