wpa_supplicant/wicd/networkmanager all does not work!

im trying to access my university lib wireless network. Unfortunately it is hidden which makes 'iwlist scan' showing all essid="".
i have worte a template for wpa_supplicant and put it in ~/ but the log shows no suitable ap matched due to null essid in scan result.

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
        ssid="XXX"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
        eap=PEAP
        identity="your netid"
        password="your password"
        auth_alg=OPEN
        phase1="peaplabel=0"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
        priority=10
        proto=WPA
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
}

i have also tried wicd/networkmanager, both do not work either...

i would like to know is this failure access caused by hidden network? or some problem else? anyone encountered this b4?

thx

Re: wpa_supplicant/wicd/networkmanager all does not work!

in wicd, iv also wrote a template like what posted in last thread (replace the variable with $_xxx) and add it in active.


it is pending in obtaining ip.... but my wicd is 1.5.9 not 1.6.0, using dhcpcd, is "obtaining ip..." means the ap has already been accessed?

any idea?

you should be able to set:
WIRELESS_AP_SCANMODE='2'

in your wireless network config
