[Solved] Wicd not working for Eduroam

Hello everyone!

Here's my problem:
I can configure Eduroam manually with wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd or netcfg, even works with net-auto-wireless, but I can't make it work for Wicd. I had to remove the ca_cert checking, because it doesn't work for either method (maybe I must change the .cer into a .pem or something). It worked perfectly on Ubuntu using Wicd and the same profile for it I'm trying here. Also the same certificate that doesn't work here for any type of configuration worked there. I also tried the PEAP with TKIP/MSCHAPV2 Wicd profile, but with no luck.

The error Wicd throws is "Bad Password". Note that it works perfectly on my home WPA2 network.

Thanks for the answers,
Nanthiel

Hi,

Dunno if you still have this issue, but the method described below worked for me:

you basically need to add a template to wicd for MSCHAPv2.

For better explanations see below:

Cheers,

Hello, I'm sorry for forgetting about this post.
Turns out our school network is lame, as it works on other faculties in the city. It also sometimes works on our network, but it's pretty unstable at times. Windows users have the same problem. If someone needs the Wicd Eduroam profile that I constructed after some tries (using the info from the eduroam.si website), and which works very well in Slovenia, gimme a shout and I'll copy it here!

Re: [Solved] Wicd not working for Eduroam

To follow up, this template works for connecting to eduroam using wicd at the University of Waterloo (possibly can be used to help connect at other unis too). From Steven She:

name = Eduroam UW
author = Steven She
version = 1
require username *Username password *Password
-----
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
    ssid="$_ESSID"
    scan_ssid="$_SCAN"
    proto=RSN
    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
    pairwise=CCMP
    group=CCMP
    eap=PEAP
    identity="$_USERNAME"
    password="$_PASSWORD"
    ca_cert="/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/GlobalSign_Root_CA.crt"
    phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
