[SOLVED] Wifi configuration, Mageia 2 KDE

[francescospina]

Hy, my name is Francesco from Italy and this is my first post..
My problem is about a wifi configuration in my University. In the site of the University i'have found the instrunction to configure the connection from the terminal, but i want to utilise the panel configuration of mageia. After i attach an example from the terminal instrunction, someone can help me to configure the panel of Mageia?

network={
ssid="UNIME-WIFI"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
eap=PEAP
identity="mrossi@unime.it"
password="123456"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"

Thanks

If is more simple, someone might explain how to configure the wifi throughout wpa_supplicant.

Does your wireless work already normally with other networks?

wpa_supplicant only stores the password or other authentication information, but not the wireless interface configuration itself.
There is a frontend for wpa_supplicant, called wpa_gui, but for this you must install the package wpa_gui.

Before you do this, have you already tried to conffigure this via drakconnect / MCC?
You may want to look at https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Setup_wireless_networking

But there were already similar threads and if i remember correctly noone managed to configure this (or at least noone reported success here)

I've installed wpa_gui, and i've tried to configure it to the network connection of my University, but did not work. If someone have some idea to configure the panel of KDE with the characteristics explained before i will be very happy to do that.

Did you try the other suggestion, to set up the connection via drakconnect, the default tool in Mageia?
Also, did you take a look at the linked threads?

I'm not sure what you mean by KDE panel, there's a plasmoid which internally uses NetworkManager,
which you could also try. Take a look at http://userbase.kde.org/KNetworkManager e.g.

I've solved my problem after more testing utilising the network management of mageia, i wrong with in some point of configuration.
