Freeradius Wi-Fi and TLS on Fedora Core

If like me you are a fedora user and you have to deploy a WPA security in your WLAN you will find some useful information in the welldone article about freeradius called:Securing Your WLAN with WPA and FreeRADIUS.
The article does some useful exaples but uses a generic linux distribution so some changes must be done for fedora.
In particular when i made the CA for my machine, that CA simply didn't work for me. This because the article assumes that the "openssl.cnf" config file is well-formed.
By my experience you have to change the line:

x509_extensions = usr_cert

with:

x509_extensions = v3_ca

I don't know if other linux distros have a different value for the "x509_extensions" parameter.

As usual, if i'm wrong please, let me know.
