Answer : Problem: Wireless Authentication window through RADIUS without active directory

Here is an alternative(just thinkin' out loud)....

I am guessing you don't want to invest at this time in the additional expense of Cisco devices; right or wrong?

Per my diagram below:

• You will need, a box that you can install IAS and possibly a CA(Certificate Authority) on. 
• If you dont have one and just wannt experiment, download vmware server(for free) and you can beat it p all you want. 
• If you do not have a managed network switch, you will at least need multiple NICs in your server.  Two NICs, one for the Guest LAN and one for your Corp LAN 
• Try this out 
• The IAS box will house your usernames and passwords for access.  
   

The bottom line here, is that the Linksys AP will HAVE to connect to an external db for authentication.
