Connecting Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy) to eduroam (INHOLLAND Diemen)

1) Make sure you are root (sudo su)

2) Create a file called /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and add the following lines in it:

network={
ssid="eduroam"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity="STUDENT_ID@student.inholland.nl"
password="STUDENT_PASSWORD"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
subject_match="CN=radius.inholland.nl"
}

Replace STUDENT_ID with your student number and STUDENT_PASSWORD with our password. If you copy/paste from this document, make sure that the quotes (“) above are real quotes, and not a character that looks like a quote.

3) Run the following command (as root):

sudo wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -Dwext

where wlan0 is your wireless interface. Don't close the terminal.

4) Run dhclient wlan0 as root in another terminal, where wlan0 is your wireless interface:

sudo dhclient wlan0

After you get an IP address you can close this terminal, but leave the other one open.

Happy browsing!
