I am currently in college and the network is secured with a wpa2- enterprise encryption. I currently am unable to connect to the network. Is there a fix for this?

According to the initial release announcement ( see page 1 of the thread ) pwireless2 originally did not have support for wpa2-enterprise, but on her previous track record jermimah will be looking into it as soon as she sees your post. I've never had to connect to a wpa2-enterprise network, so I'm guessing, but can the ordinary network wizard connect? I know it can handle wpa and wpa2, although that's not innediately obvious from the GUI.

I think the problem is that the network requires a password and a username.

The question is, does it also require a certificate?

That's the part Pwireless2 does not support - except if you edit the wpa_supplicant configuration by hand.

Hi there,

I've been using Pwireless 2 to connect to my University network for a good 6 months or more now.

The wpa-supplicant file needs to be manually edited, I think I allowed Pwireless 2 to try to connect to the network in order to create a block of code for editing, then used the setup data the Uni provided to edit it.

The code looks like this, you just need to put in the appropriate network ID and password parameters, and the SSID as required.

Network={
ssid="eduroam"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity="[your network ID]"
password="[your password]"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"

Hope this helps.

Frisbee based on Pwireless is available, it may give superior results.

Thanks TeviotYandara! eduroam (http://www.aarnet.edu.au/services/eduroam.aspx) is just being phased in my institution - this is just what I needed -
Cheers!

P.S. A belated welcome to the kennels!

Frisbee doesn't seem to work on my computer. I've got two wireless interfaces (only 1 running) and zero scan results are produced when I run the refresh button.

What can be done about this?

I change house from town to country, and i no longer succeed connect wireless
I was told to use public wifi of the town, but does not appears with pWirelees

Pwireless installed on a French Puppy. Slaxen is the name. Was successful... To-day
