    Has this worked before? If so, when did it break?

    The 'tag length longer than remaining payload' point to a possible MTU issue, make sure that jumbo frames are enabled on all network devices (switches) between the AP and your ClearPass. Or a firewall or other security device may corrupt the RADIUS frames.
