 Have a look at  Undeadly.org.
 A good high level view of set up.

And it's never a bad idea to offer unsupported devices to the OpenBSD
project as a hardware donation.

See other replies too, but individual drivers where the manual mentions
support for WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK should be good for WPA-enterprise with the
wpa_supplicant package.

The bigger challenge is accurately identifying a chipset before purchase,
but they're pretty cheap so it isn't usually a big hardship if a particular
device doesn't work.

Thanks for the tips I will have to try these out when I'm back at
University next week. I noticed that in undeadly it didn't mention anything
about the certificates is that just added in the wpa_supplicant.conf
script. like this

ca_cert="/path/to/downloaded/cert"

Thanks

usb wifi wpa2 enterprise

[Shaun Reiger]

Hi I'm trying to find out if obsd supports any usb wifi adapters that can
connect to a wpa2 enterprise network. I have read through a couple driver
man pages urtwn, iwn, rsu..etc but can't determine if the adapters listed
will connect. Anyone with any experience in this would be helpful.

Thanks

Yes, it does.

However, for IEEE 802.X EAP, you will need to use 'wpa_supplicant' from
ports.

BTW, it's all in the ifconfig(8) man page :^)

wpaakms akm,akm,...

Set the comma-separated list of allowed authentication and key
management protocols.

The supported values are “psk” and “802.1x”. psk
authentication (also known as personal mode) uses a 256-bit
pre-shared key.  802.1x authentication (also known as enterprise
mode) is used with an external IEEE 802.1X authentication
server, such as wpa_supplicant.  The default value is “psk”.
“psk” can only be used if a pre-shared key is configured
using the wpakey option.
