[SOLVED] iwd eduroam connection issues (iwd[260]: Property EAP-Method

Hi.

I'm having difficulties connecting to eduroam on my new(ish) arch install.

As far as i know I followed instructions available here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Iwd#Eduroam

/var/lib/iwd/eduroam.8021x:

[security]
EAP-Method=PEAP
EAP-Identity=anonymous@helsinki.fi
EAP-PEAP-CACert=/var/lib/iwd/eduroam.pem
EAP-PEAP-ServerDomainMask=rad-proxy.fe.helsinki.fi
EAP-PEAP-Phase2-Method=MSCHAPV2
EAP-PEAP-Phase2-Identity=<user name>@helsinki.fi
EAP-PEAP-Phase2-Password=<password>

[setting]
AutoConnect=true

The certificate is in the same directory as eduroam.8021x.

eduroam is present in iwctl known-networks list but attemtping to connect gives

[iwd]# station wlan0 connect eduroam 
Not configured

I set the Environment=IWD_TLS_DEBUG=TRUE variable in /etc/systemd/system/iwd.service.d/tls-debug.conf.

journalctl -u iwd.service gives me:

-- Boot 2468d9700fdc4261a3a122f3840d3488 --

iwd[259]: Wireless daemon version 1.11

iwd[259]: Property EAP-Method missing
iwd[259]: Property EAP-Method missing
iwd[259]: Property EAP-Method missing
iwd[259]: Property EAP-Method missing

The contents of eduroam.8021x does not seem to affect anything so intuitively I feel like it's not properly accessible to iwd but I don't know what to do about that or verify this.

I'm probably missing something simple (as I have multiple times before) but this time I haven't managed to google my way out of it.

Try to write the section names in your config capitalized and you forgot an s for [Settings].

Oh. Did not realize they need to be capitalized. Will test this tomorrow and mark solved if this was all.

Thanks working now. The 2 typos mentioned were the main issue. After that quick googling solved everything else.

Didn't get to the office until today so could not test. Thanks for the help!
