[Solved]ath9k + eduroam just won't work

Hi, I'm a student at UiB in Norway. I'm trying to connect to eduroam at school. The problem is that the connection is never made. I followed the instructions on this page.

http://www.eduroam.uib.no/user/linuxwpa.html

I don't understand how that can work without a certificate. But still, I have use the certificate it still won't work. The network works, I know that. So I'm wondering if this could be a problem with the driver ath9k.

We need more than "just won't work" and "connection is never made". Examine wpa_supplicant's output by either running it in the foreground or directing the output to a log file - the man page will tell you how. Paste the log here if you're having difficulty deciphering it yourself.

I know. I'll post debug output from wpa_supplicant when I'm at school tomorrow.

It's not just me apparently who is having some problems. Pptp will have to do for now.

Re: [Solved]ath9k + eduroam just won't work

This is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf for Eduroam in UoE, Prague

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1

network={
  ssid="eduroam"
  priority=4
  scan_ssid=1
  key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
  eap=PEAP # urcite ne TTLS
  proto=WPA
  pairwise=TKIP # pry nemusi byt
  identity=""
  password=""
#  ca_cert="/etc/ssl/certs/sureserverEDU.pem"
  ca_cert="/etc/ssl/certs/GTE_CyberTrust_Global_Root.pem"
  phase1="peaplabel=0" # pry nepovinne
  phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}

It works... when my atheros crapy wifi is working...
