This depends on your NAS (AP).  If the AP supports 802.1x, then it most
likely supports dynamic keying through TLS-based EAP methods (EAP-TLS,
EAP-TTLS, PEAP).  How often the key is changed is entireley dependent on
your FreeRADIUS config and/or your AP.  Some APs will take the
information from FreeRADIUS and generate their own keys.  If your AP
does this, then it likely has a "Rekey Interval" setting somewhere in
its config.  This interval will determine how often a new key is
generated.  If your AP, on the other hand, simply uses the key generated
by FreeRADIUS as the WEP keying material, then the only way to generate
a new key is by forcing a new authentication.  This can be done in some
APs by setting a "Reauthentication Interval" or, if your AP supports it,
by setting the Session-Timeout and Termination-Action attributes in the
Access-Accept packet.

It handles this automatically as part of any TLS-based EAP exchange.
