wifi can not connect to network

Postby mic » Jan 12th, '12, 07:56

Hello,
I am not able to connect to network (eduroam) with the following wifi settings

Network SSID: eduroam (all lowercase)
Security: 802.x EAP
EAP Method: TTLS
Phase 2 Authenication: PAP
CA certificate: (unspecified)
User certificate: (unspecified)
Identify: yourusername@test.org
Anonymous Identity: none
Password: your password

However, I always get connection failed and I even followed the following HowTo http://www.blogs.uni-osnabrueck.de/rota ... d-eduroam/ .

What did I do wrong.

Thank you in advance.
mic

You also did the setup as described in http://www.rz.uni-osnabrueck.de/Dienste ... tm#anchor1 ?
And seems you missed to supply this:
EAP CA Zertifikat: Vollständiger Pfad zur heruntergeladenen Zertifikatskette
in english:
EAP CA certificate: full path to downloaded certificates

Should look like this in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code: Select all
ca_cert="/path/to/eduroam.pem"

Sorry, I meant that the following settings are provided by my university which is not osnabrueck:
Network SSID: eduroam (all lowercase)
Security: 802.x EAP
EAP Method: TTLS
Phase 2 Authenication: PAP
CA certificate: (unspecified)
User certificate: (unspecified)
Identify: yourusername@test.org
Anonymous Identity: none
Password: your password

and there are not providing any EAP CA certificate. In Ubuntu it was not necessary.

The other problem which I just discover is that I can not setup at home my wifi internet connection which is hidden.

What did I do wrong?

I've got no additional help I'm afraid, but I'm in exactly the same boat - I can't connect to eduroam with Mageia. I've been following the Oxford (my home institution) instructions: http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/network/wirele ... s/eduroam/

All the other wifi networks I've tried are absolutely fine - I assume this has got to be an authentication issue. Does anyone know if it's a wider issue with Mageia, or is this just some configuration that's not mentioned in those two guides?
