I was able to configure SecureW2′s Wireless Internet within ABS (Arnhem Business School) on Linux. By taking some time to experiment. Here is how I did it.
1. You’ll need the package wpasupplicant
2. Use wpa_supplicant.conf configuration like this one:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicantctrl_interface_group=0eapol_version=1ap_scan=1#fast_reauth=1network={ ssid=â€han†scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=IEEE8021X eap=TTLS phase2=â€auth=PAP†identity=â€your_username†password=â€yoursecretpass†priority=100}
Put the above configuration in let’s say /etc/ under the name wpa_supplicant.conf
Create a script han-internet.sh, put the following within the script
#!/bin/sh# Written by hip0 23.09.2008# Under GPL v2# Read it here http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl2.txt# kill any existing instances of wpa_supplicant or dhclient if [[ $(ps ax |grep -i dhclient|grep -v grep) ]]; thenkillall -9 dhclient >/dev/null 2>&1[[ $(ps ax |grep -i wpa_supplicant|grep -v grep) ]]; thenkillall -9 wpa_supplicant >/dev/null 2>&1fi# initialize connection to the HAN wireless APwpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.confsleep 5;dhclient -nw wlan0 >/dev/null 2>&1
If you’re a debian user you could configure your machine to connect to yourwireless network during boot:
To do this you have to:
Edit /etc/network/interfaces
Add something similar in it:
iface wlan0 inet dhcppre-up wpa_supplicant -B -D wext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.confpre-down killall -9 wpa_supplicantpre-down killall -9 dhclient
Don’t forget to change your interface name mine is wlan, yours could be different
3. Enjoy your Wireless Internet within the HAN building! 🙂
P.S. I configured that on my Debian 4.0 system, but I think t would work with any other Linux/BSD system out thereEND—–
