Confidentiality of TLS keying information for wireless

Hi,
I have a couple of questions concerning wireless clients using EAP-TLS
authentication against a radius server:

1. Are all the TLS session negotiations between supplicant (on the
client) and authenticator (AP) sent in the clear? In other words is there
any form of confidentiality for TLS keying information?

2. If there is none, what prevents a potential attacker from listening
in on TLS sessions and eventually gathering enough information (like the
session key and eventually WEP keys) to launch a man-in-the-middle attack?

Thanks,
