I'm having trouble connecting to my schools network under Arch Linux using netcfg. Wired internet works well, but I'm unable to connect by wireless as I would under Windows or Ubuntu (using network-manager, which supports MS-CHAP). The easy solution would be to simply install network-manager, but I would rather use CLI programs.
The relevant information;
Network Authentication; Open
Data Encryption; WEP
automatically provided key
EAP type; PEAP
authentication; Secured Password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)
no server certificate validation.

The easiest thing to do is search around on google for your schools wpa_supplicant script. Usually the engineering department has it posted somewhere.
Then
wpa_supplicant -c *script* -i wlan0 (if wlan0 is your interface).
If you cant find the script you'll have to write it. Wintervenom has you covered.

The second excerpt looks like a netcfg related config file, but I'm not sure what to do with the first one.

The first is the relevant wpa_supplicant.conf configuration. The second is a Netcfg2 network profile.
