I am able to connect to my university's campus wireless network using wicd, but I can't seem to connect using a netcfg profile. Can anyone identify what I'm missing from the netcfg profile? Thanks!
The wicd configuration
From /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf:
[essid:IllinoisNet]
afterscript = None
dhcphostname = blueberry
bssid = 00:0C:E6:CE:F8:E7
ip = None
dns_domain = None
gateway = None
use_global_dns = False
encryption = True
postdisconnectscript = None
beforescript = None
hidden = False
predisconnectscript = None
channel = 11
mode = Master
username = my_netid
psk = my_psk_generated_using_wpa_passphrase
ca_cert = /etc/ssl/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem
netmask = None
key = my_password
usedhcphostname = 0
password = my_password
identity = my_netid
enctype = illinoisnet
netid = my_netid
dns3 = None
dns2 = None
search_domain = None
use_settings_globally = True
use_static_dns = False
encryption_method = WPA2
essid = IllinoisNet
automatic = 1
dns1 = None
/etc/wicd/encryption/templates/illinoisnet:
name = IllinoisNet
author = Charlie Meyer
version = 1
require netid *UIUC_Netid password *AD_Password
----
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="IllinoisNet"
eap=TTLS
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
identity="$_NETID"
password="$_PASSWORD"
#ca_cert="/etc/ssl/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
The netcfg configuration
/etc/network.d/IllinoisNet:
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='IllinoisNet campus wireless'
INTERFACE='eth1'
SECURITY='wpa-configsection'
ESSID=IllinoisNet
IP='dhcp'
CONFIGSECTION='

eap=TTLS
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
identity=my_netid
password=my_password
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
'
When I try to connect using the netcfg profile, I just get the following error:
% sudo netcfg IllinoisNet
:: IllinoisNet up [BUSY]
> WPA Authentication/Association Failed
[FAIL]

Hello,
I used a part of your netcfg configuration to connect to my university's network and wasn't able to use it until I noticed something: the quotes were missing in the identity and password part. I think it should be:
identity="my_netid"
password="my_password"
Maybe you could check that.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it didn't work for me I also tried adding quotes to the other config options, but that didn't help either.
Recently, I realized there is a NETCFG_DEBUG variable that I can get more debugging information from, I'll see what that tells me next time I'm on campus.
