        http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeRADIUS_2.x_package#FreeRADIUS_Plain-MAC-Auth_as_802.1X_request_with_Captive_Portal

        Using freeradius2 package and 802.1x mac auth.
        Create a user for each pc's mac address.

        I have just set this up on a test machine. And it works  as far as the bandwidth limits per mac address. But The usage limit is bugged for me anyways.
        A few mistakes I made along the way.
        in CP  the IP for the radius server= use the lan ip of the pfsense box. I tried 127.0.0.1 and it doesn't work.
        MAC address format leave on default then just copy and paste mac's for each new user from the dhcp status page. All users will have the same shared secret that you put on the CP page.
        On CP page top set an idle time out say 60 minutes or so then get rid of the hard time out. leave it blank.
        Accounting updates I've tried both but start stop should work fine for speed control.
