Yes.  You would need a real hard drive, not a CF card, as continuous 
writes would rapidly destroy the card.  You would install the Linux 
flavor of your choice and add freeradius to it.  It would not be very quick.

This would be a lot tougher.  first, you would have to expand the disk 
image considerably to "install" free radius.  This would expand the 
memory footprint, and the 4501 has limited memory.  Also, since m0n0wall 
loads the entire config at boot and runs from memory, and any logs or 
configuration is lost at each boot.

You best bet is to find another PC at that location or somewhere on the 
internet and load freeradius on it.  It is not a big deal for a real PC 
to have it added.  You could use a home PC even, if you just leave it on.
