  You don't.

  You configure the NAS to do MAC address authentication.  That sends a RADIUS packet \
with the MAC address to FreeRADIUS.  FreeRADIUS can then look that MAC up in the \
database, and return accept / reject.

  See the hotspot documentation for how to configure MAC address authentication.

  In short, the RADIUS server needs to get MAC addresses in the Access-Request \
packets.  If that doesn't happen, then no amount of poking the RADIUS server will \
make things magically work.
