WPA2 Enterprise

Forum thread started by Munchausen on Mon, 2012-08-06 21:23

WPA support on haiku seems to work great. And everything is slowly coming together to allow me to use haiku as my day to day OS for coding and web browsing.

But at my uni I need WPA2 enterprise support for connecting to the wireless network. I'd use a cable, but my ethernet (marvell_yukon) doesn't really seem to work at all.

Is there some way of connecting to WPA2 enterprise networks with haiku?

If WPA works for you then WPA2 will also work..

It can be that you don't have wpa_supplicant

and need to install it.

You have to run this command inside Terminal:
installoptionalpackage wpa_supplicant

Thanks, but I need enterprise though, which is different.

It means that when you try to connect to a network you are asked to provide a username and password to authenticate with a server, instead of just asked for a pre-shared key to connect to a wireless router (i.e. normal way of connecting to WPA/WPA2 networks).

WPA enterprise is used at large businesses, universities etc, where you must have a login to access the network instead of just giving everyone the network key (insecure).
