Although I'm starting to think that the only issue is that it won't accept my specific user ID and password. I tried using graphical Network Manager in Fedora and it did prompt me for a username and password, but it didn't accept them.
I guess that Netcfg config file works then, I'll have to find out what I'm supposed to be entering.
Your output indicates that the group setting under CONFIGSECTION should be TKIP and the pairwise section should read TKIP CCMP. That is just what I noticed right away. Also the Authentication Suites in the output shows PSK, making me doubt your university is using WPA2-Enterprise like mine does.
Edit: in the example profiles the wireless-wpa-configsection is an example for universities and shows that in the phase2 section it should read "auth=PAP"' and not "none"'. It also shows the eap setting should be set to TTLS.
Try these settings after figuring out your password, as it sounds like it has expired. Good luck.

Only thing that comes to mind now is that one of the variables in CONFIGSECTION is not correct for your school wifi, perhaps the eap setting is wrong as there are several types? I don't know what kind of network your campus uses, their key_mgmt may be different or they may have a phase2 authentication system in place.

Maybe my username and password are just incorrect, it just says WPA Authentication Failure. Sigh.

I'm reopening this thread (bumping I guess) because I tried this profile, but unfortunately it does not connect to the network. I get a WPA authentication failure from netcfg.
I changed the ssid, username, and password, and deleted the extra ' trailing from the file which seemed to cause errors. Still, no luck.
I double checked my file and I made a mistake in my post, there is a leading ' symbol right after CONFIGSECTION=
I am guessing that the entire config section needs to be enclosed in a pair of inverted commas/quotation marks for the profile to work. That makes intuitive sense to me. I will put it to the test tomorrow on campus.

Correct. If this works, don't forget to prepend the title with [Solved]
I won't be able to test this for a bit, so it might not have [Solved] for a while.

]]>I am guessing your school uses "wpa-eap" for authentication. I used to have the same problem as you. You can actually configure your "wireless school profile file" with settings so you can connect & authenticate, without first entering a browser.

Sounds great! Is this for netcfg, network manager, or wicd, or all?
I'll have to try this when I get my netbook FIXED, the screen has a blue tint currently (oh the irony...). Hardware problem.
