Wireless network of TU/e on Linux PDF Print E-mail

I have been trying to connect to the wireless network of Eindhoven University of Technology for a while now, and recently I succeeded!

This is how I did it:
First install wpa_supplicant.
sudo apt-get install wpa_supplicant

Then create a config file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Paste the following text into the file:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=0

network={
ssid="tue"
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
identity="USERNAME" #without tue/
password="PASSWORD" # Windows password
ca_cert="/etc/ssl/certs/GTE_CyberTrust_Global_Root.pem"
}


Then to create the connection:
wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -D wext -i wlan0

If it says it is connected, then use this command:
iwconfig wlan0 essid tue

Ofcourse wlan0 is your ethernetcard.
