[Pardus-users] Problems connecting to eduroam

[Emre Sururi]

Dear Pardus developers,

Recently I've migrated from Fedora to Pardus. One of the main reasons 
for my migration was the failure of Fedora's Network Manager in 
connecting to the eduroam. Unfortunately, I still haven't managed to 
connect to the network. The network applet simply reports that 
"Authentication Failed" even though I correctly enter my account 
information (I know this because, I know it's not a nice thing to say 
but, I can connect perfectly well from within Windows XP using the same 
credentials). Also, I don't think that it is an adapter related issue 
since I can connect to the access point I've setup at home easily.

You can find the procedures to connect to the eduroam from my university 
at http://luchthaven.tudelft.nl/engels/peap.htm (using PEAP for Windows) 
and at http://luchthaven.tudelft.nl/engels/ttls.htm (using TTLS for Ubuntu).

While searching for clues on how to connect, I found some articles 
assisting to connect via wpa_supplicant. I gave a shot but couldn't 
advance further than these:

dutsm0175 ~ # cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={

ssid="eduroam"
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=TTLS
phase2="auth=PAP"
anonymous_identity="anonymous at tudelft.nl"
identity="etasci at tudelft.nl"
password="xxxx"
}

dutsm0175 ~ # wpa_supplicant -w -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf 
-D wext

dutsm0175 ~ # iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any

Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:32 dBm

eth0 no wireless extensions.

dutsm0175 ~ # dhclient wlan0
-su: dhclient: command not found

I don't know how to proceed from here... Any help appreciated.

With my thanks in advance,
Emre Sururi
