EAP-TTLS wireless setup

I'm not very familiar with the different types of wireless security out there. I'm going back to school next week and need to setup my laptop for the school's wireless. I'm currently using networkmanager (which I'm loving btw). The requirements for the schools wireless are:

SSID (aka, Network Name):      psu    *note that the SSID is case sensitive and must be all lower case
Network Type:      Infrastructure
Security:      WPA2-Enterprise (not WPA2-PSK)
Encryption:      AES
Authentication Type:      EAP-TTLS
Authentication Protocol:      PAP
Certificate Authority:      Thawte Premium Server CA
Authentication Server:      radius1.aset.psu.edu
If allowed by your client program, it is also recommended that you enable options to Validate Server Certificate and Verify Server Name.

When I go to setup a new connection, the only authentication options i have are TLS, LEAP, Tunneled TLS, and Protected EAP(PEAP). Is there another package I need to install for EAP-TTLS?

Re: EAP-TTLS wireless setup

I don't know much about wireless, but the EAP page at wikipedia would lead me to believe that Tunneled TLS (= TTLS) is the one you want.  There doesn't seem to be such a thing as 'standalone TTLS' if you get my meaning; searching wikipedia for TTLS just redirects to the EAP page.

Re: EAP-TTLS wireless setup

Thanks. That was my first assumption. I'll have to go up to campus and try it out I guess.
