I for some reason am having the hardest time connecting to my universities wifi. It sees the network, and the signal strength is plenty, however whenever I try to connect to it...it tries and tries then just fails.
It's encrypted by Dynamic WEP with PEAP MSCHAPv2
We're supposed to put in our username and password for the university's system, but it just won't work.
I'm using NetworkManager, and it works great everywhere else...just for some reason it hates connecting to their network.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

do you get any errors? try to start network manager from the console and see if it gives errors when it times out.
or try something else to manage networks like wicd.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Have you got wpa_supplicant installed?

Solved my own problem...did quite a bit of reading last night and it seems like NetworkManager still has trouble connecting to these types of networks, and the only way to get it to work correctly is by using wpa_supplicant...which is what I did. Here's my wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="wtamu-student-wireless"
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
identity="username"
password="password"
}
Maybe this'll help somebody later on!

It's not that Networkmanager has problems connecting to WPA networks, it's meant to use wpa_supplicant for some of those more elaborate WPA connections. Wireless-tools for example can be used to configure WEP connections.
Now that this issue is solved for you, would you mind adding [SOLVED] to your post title? Edit your first post.
