Isn't that basically what a lot of wi-fi broadband router/modems do anyway? 

Eg, set up a netgear DG834 (think it was) and it was having problems with auto assigned IPs for lan members so shortcut 
the problem by telling it to manually assign IP number to MAC so that each time a MAC came in range it got the same IP 
number always. I set the IP numbers manually at each client computer and thus they would only connect using that 
number. Connection problems died off instantly, then. The upshot is that if the MAC is unknown, it cant get access now 
even if the WEP is successfully decrypted. Wouldn't that radius auth be basically that idea?
