One idea if you have old devices that cannot upgrade to a newer SSL/TLS 
protocol would be to run some kind of proxy between the client and the radius 
server (stunnel?)

Don't know how well this plays with EAP.
Maybe this will only work with EAP-TTLS ?

Another idea, since you run your own custom freeradius, is to recompile it and 
link with another openssl library that has old SSL/TLS enabled.
