Hi guys!

I need urgent help stablishing wireless connection to a WPA-Enterprise encrypted network.

this how it's configured by network manager:

however I need to get working without network manager, the options are Wicd or simply some kind of raw config file of the system...

please try to help me with this one because it's really important...

Oi,

try the following:

network={
        ssid="eduroam"
        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
        eap=TTLS
        phase2="auth=PAP"
        identity="IDENTITY"
        password="PASSWORD"
        ca_cert="/path/to/cacert-scrom.cer"
}

Edit: That's for wpa_supplicant.

ok! thanks for the fat answer!

I'll have to wait till tomorrow to test that however...

By the way, should I add anything to my rc.conf?

Well, I recommend using netcfg2 and thus adding net-profiles to rc.conf.

If you want to use netcfg2 (check the wiki for set-up and configuration instructions), use the wpa-config option in the profile.

by the way, now I remember that I have already tried that, but instead of "key_mgmt=IEEE8021X" I used "key_mgmt=WPA-EAP".

I'll give it a try anyway....

no... didn't work...

I get:

ioctl[siocsiwauth]

This should not be a problemantic error. Try setting the essid manually with iwconfig and also enable debug output for wpa_supplicant using the -d flag.

Try this in netcfg2 with key_mgmt=WPA-EAP:

CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=wlan0
SCAN="yes"
SECURITY="wpa-config"
ESSID="eduroam"
IP="dhcp"
TIMEOUT=20

you could also try autowifi with wpa_gui for a non-graphical solution if that's what you're into.

Wicd is amazing, that's my suggestion. I have to use the same encryption for my university network.

managed to get it working with wpa_supplicant!

just had to add

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
update_config=1

SOLVED

actually me and a friend of mine uses the wicd to access eduroam (before was e-U).. it has a graphical front-end (just like networkmanager).
