The usernames in plaintext database (raddb/users) are always
case-sensitive. If you are using PAM to authenticate, the best
way out would be to write a small pass-through module which will
downcase the username in the PAM credentials. Writing such a
module is quite straightforward.

Are you using Acct-Type attribute for that NAS?
Do you see any records from that NAS in the output of radwho command?
Does it produce any error/warning messages in your radius.log?
