Re: U of S wireless and linux

I have fought with this and can get it to work with the ipw driver using
wpa_supplicant (which can be managed via the network manager) .It seems
if you wander away from the ipw driver things get sketchy here is the
wpa_supplicant.conf I used:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=0

network={
        ssid="uofs"
        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP WEP104 WEP40
        eap=PEAP
# identity="nsid" <-uncomment this if you havent apt-get(ted) wpa_gui
# password="password" <-as above
# ca_cert="/etc/ssl/sslcert/cacert.pem" <-this didn't help
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}

my cisco 350 802.11B card authenticates fine but as soon as the 4 wep
keys are generated it bails on me , but as I said if you have a inet
chip card it seems to work fine. What kind of ethernet card do you have?
I am interested in getting this working with as many cards as possible
as this is a big stopper for people using wifi on linux at UofS
