wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, and Windows with support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN).
This page describes how to connect to the BFH wireless networks via wpa_supplicant. It is for those of us who are not luxurious enough (or too arrogant in my case) to be able to use a fancy GUI-tool.
Without further ado, this wpa_supplicant configuration necessary to be able to connect to the network:
# Locked BFH network network={ ssid="bfh" key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X eap=PEAP auth_alg=OPEN phase1="peaplabel=0" phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2" identity="insert-your-bfh-identity-here" password="insert-your-password-here" priority=100 } # Open BFH network network={ ssid="public-bfh" key_mgmt=NONE priority=0 }
If you experience problems, with this configuration, you can always increase the debugging level -d
or -dd
. If first-level authentication fails, you can try to set the phase1=“peaplabel=1”
.
Note: This configuration was tested and is in fact working in Bern
wpa_supplicant is available from all major package management systems:
apt-get install wpasupplicant
emerge -av wpa_supplicant
pacman -S wpa_supplicant
yum install wpa_supplicant
zypper install wpa_supplicant
cd /usr/ports/security/wpa_supplicant/ && make install
or pkg_add -vrf wpa_supplicant
If your mood is especially adventurous today, you can even compile it from source: http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/
