I suppose I should preface this with the fact that my poor little laptop uses one of the dreaded Broadcom cards (Dell Studio 1555 & BCM4312).
A while back, I decided I would experiment with Gentoo on my laptop. No wireless. Couldn't get it to work for weeks. Ditched Gentoo and went back to Arch. No wireless. Tried that for another couple of weeks. No wireless, tried Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, OpenSUSE, Puppy, Debian, and Arch, again. On the last try, it finally worked. By accident. I discovered that my computer now reads the ethernet port as eth1 and the wireless as eth0 for whatever reason (I've seen eth1 as wireless before, this is the first time that I've seen it as eth0).
Now, here is my issue. I live on a university campus which requires a username and password to log on to the campus wireless. I am currently connected to a contraband router in a student lounge because I can't connect to the standard dorm wireless.
My computer seems to have no problem with connecting to regular WPA2 networks, but it fails connecting every time that it tries to authenticate the university network.
Just wanted to hear your two cents. I'm moving off-campus soon, so it doesn't matter, I just wanted to hear y'all's opinion on this and how to possibly fix it in the few days that I am still here.
EDIT: I am using wicd.
