[solved] eduroam with netctl?

Hello, i'm trying to install arch on my school laptop. (I installed linux (not arch) before: it ain't a problem.)

Here they use a network called Airborne. It has wpa2-enterprise security.
(Here is a picture of the network configration in windows)
To install netctl I just placed the netctl and openresolv packages in my windows partition and installed them with pacman -U during installation.

My question is: how can I connect to wpa2-enterprise with netctl?

If it ain't broke, you haven't tweaked it enough.

Search the forums for eduroam, you'll find plenty of examples. Some will be for netcfg, but adjusting them to netctl isn't hard.

Searching for: "eduroam enterprise" does'nt return anything useful at all. also if I search "eduroam", I can't find anything useful.

No bumping, please. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … te#Bumping

As for setting it all up, you can try this:

1. get a working wpa_supplicant config

2. use /etc/netctl/examples/wireless-wpa-config to get it working with netctl

Re: [solved] eduroam with netctl?

I found setting it up with wpa_supplicant too complicated.

I used archiso on my other pc to make an iso including wicd and this config: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … _with_wicd

Thanks for the help anyway!

EDIT: It looks like somebody made it work with netctl: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netctl#Eduroam
I haven't tried it though.
