Mac Authentication - what happens after session timeout

[wlan at mac.com]

One idea could be to always set the DHCP lease time to that of the  
session-timeout returned in a mac-auth access-accept. This should  
result in the lease expiring at the same time as the session (unless  
due to idle-timeout).
