 Posted: Mon Jan 12, 2009 3:25 pm Post subject: EEE PC & WPA2 Campus Wireless |
 |
|
This is using the specific version of Xandros for the EEE PCs but I thought I would post here anyways.
My school recently switched to WPA2 on campus but I have been unable to connect. I have the default Xandros OS with some of the other repositories enabled.
When I took the laptop (EEE 1000H I believe) to the campus help desk they said that my laptop does not have WPA2, is this true? If it does have WPA2, how do I get it to work?
This is the help page for my university, if someone could walk me through how to set it up (if you can) on the Xandros install I would appreciate it.

Any updates on you getting access? I have the same issues at Purdue. I did install WPA2.0, but cannot get access to it via GUI. I can link in via terminal, but cannot get a gateway. I show logged in but cannot access the net.
Help!

Willdo. I am close......but very frustrated. :p Right now, WPA 2.0 is in, but no hooks for the GUI and no gateway access. Soon as I resolve the controller issue, I think I'll have it, though.
Any of you Uber Users out there help a relative newb with this? |

Hi.
I don't know if this helps, but have you tried editing the section for your campus-network in /etc/network/interfaces to look like this:
| Code: |
down dhclient3 -r -pf /var/run/dhclient.$IFACE.pid -lf /var/run/dhclient.$IFACE.leases $IFACE
down ifconfig $IFACE down
up ifconfig $IFACE up
up dhclient3 -cf /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.$LOGICAL.conf -pf /var/run/dhclient.$IFACE.pid -lf /var/run/dhclient.$IFACE.leases $IFACE
wireless-channel 11
wireless-essid Securewireless
xncs-wireless-encryption [b]eap[/b]
xncs-wpa-authtype PEAP
xncs-wpa-password your_password
xncs-wpa-username your_username
|
?
Note, that your password for the network need to be base64:
| Code: |
> echo "my-secret" | base64 -i
bXktc2VjcmV0Cg==
>

Regards,
Andresen |
