WPA-PEAP with MSCHAPv2

[pato]

In trying to use the G1G1 at school I have run into insurmountable problems trying to connect to the WLAN - at least for me. So, I'm hoping someone out there more knowledgable than I can provide some insight.

We are using a Cisco RADIUS server that implements WPA2 enterprise and WPA-PEAP with MSCHAPv2. The SSID is also hidden. I have already looked here:
 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Talk:WPA_Manual_Setting

but the wpa.sh script didn't help much. I also fooled around with manual configuration of networks.cfg but it's lead me nowhere.

I would be interested in providing a test bed for this if there is interest.

Hey Doug,

my Dad forwarded me your message...

I hadn't really looked into this topic since networking-issues are 
generally not my strength. However a quick search across the OLPC 
mailing-lists returns a pretty extensive thread 
(http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/server-devel/2008-April/ - look for 
"Mesh connectivity from regular WiFi gear") talking about these kinds of 
issues with one of them by Kim Quirk, OLPC's PM, specifically talking 
about testing a PEAP-MSCHAPv2 scenario 
(http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/server-devel/2008-April/000823.html). 
Unfortunately I can't seem to find a real follow up on the issue so I 
don't know whether it's been tested or not.

I'd say your best bet is to send a message to the OLPC server-devel list 
(http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel) with maybe a copy to 
devel (http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel) just in case. CC'ing 
Martin Langhoff (martin.langhoff at gmail.com), one of the main guys 
working on these kinds of issues, probably doesn't hurt either.

Hope that helps (somewhat) and please don't hesitate to contact me in 
case you have any other questions. Also, in case you shouldn't receive a 
reply to your message within a couple of days feel free to let me know 
and I'll try to find an answer to your question via some backchannels in 
Boston.

Cheers,
Christoph
