Hello there. I've been trying for about a week and a half to get my
Fedora 11 laptop working with my university's wifi network.
It is a WPA2-enterprise, certificate-using, PEAP, MSCHAPV2 type of
wireless network. I am certain I know my wireless access user name
and password, and even the domain (although I'm not sure if that's
useful). I have the certificate and the connection working fine under
Windows.
I cannot get it to work under Fedora. I wish I could give more useful
information -- "my WPA wifi won't work" isn't good enough for a bug
report, I haven't proven anything's wrong. But I'm no fool and
relatively linux-savvy. Is there any reason why a WPA+certificate
network might not be able to work under Linux?
The funny thing is, I actually got it to work last Friday, without
question, all day. When I changed my password over the weekend
though, I couldn't log on to it on Monday or hereafter. (My
nm-version from Fedora-stable is 0.7.1-git-20090708, so the software
hasn't been changed.)
If it helps, I've heard that some of my Mac friends are having trouble
getting on to it, but that might be a red herring.
In the past (back at college) I'd just ignore this and go back to
Windows. But I really want it to work -- there's no reason why it
shouldn't. Are there any pointers or anything I could have missed?

There's definitely some breakage in that area in NetworkManager. I use
eduroam all the time (with WPA-EAP). It works flawlessly with just
wpa_supplicant, but NetworkManager never managed to get the auth done.
Haven't bothered to debug it so far, because I mostly use wpa_supplicant
anyway. If it helps, this is the network config I use to connect to eduroam:
network={
ssid="eduroam"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=TTLS
identity="you...@university.edu"
anonymous_identity="anonym...@university.edu"
password="yourpassword"
ca_cert="/path/to/university-certificate"
phase2="auth=PAP"
}
But your university should definitely offer some documentation on how to
configure wpa_supplicant for their network.
