 |
|
Hi Guys
I am trying to setup my laptop to work with my university wlan. i have two choices: connecting to an unsecured network and using a vpn ( tried that vpnc always barfs saying it wasn't built with openssl but there is no such use flag wth) and another method using a wpa2 wireless ap (call it eduroam) which would be preferable for several reasons.
After a lot of fiddling i am at a point where i can scan the whole lot and connect to the eduroam network and use the dhcpcd on this device but then it fails for ping -I wlan0, so it's not working effectively. The other thing is that /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start seems to ignore my settings and i have to do it all manually.
Can anyone help me with one or more of the three issues please?
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="802.1X"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=TTLS
pairwise=CCMP
identity="someid"
anonymous_identity="anonymous@mwn.de"
password="somepas"
ca_cert="/etc/cert/rootcert.crt"
phase2="auth=PAP"
}
|
/etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: |
modules="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"
config_wlan0="dhcp"

Hi Kaste
what version of wpa_supplicant are you using?!
I changed to the newest one 0.69 cause of some stability issues.
by the way I want to use also the Edu-Network in September.
Hope you will find a solution till then  or I will have to help you
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

For vpnc, remove the line: | Code: | IKE Authmode hybrid
|
from your config file. That will remove the OpenSSL error. |

Thanks both of you, sorry for taking so long to answer. I tried your thing tuber but it didn't work. Doesn't matter though because i got the other solution to work.
@cmp: if you still need the configs give me a pm or something. It does work now, the only thing is i have to do it all manually, because /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start seems to plain ignore the configs. Which is really weird because we diffed everything against a working setup.
