Select the network you want to connect to then enter your key.

Don't let it make you nuts -- "WPA2" is WPA with better encryption -- you can use a "password 8-64 characters in length", (which implies WPA2 and AES encryption).

There's a startlingly bad Wikipedia link at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WPA2.

You can verify this at the last step by hitting the "Advanced" button on the last step, switching to the "Other" tab, and select "WPA2-Only" mode....

Currently, OS2008 only supports home networks and not corporate WPA2 networks that require PEAP keys. This is a registered, but mainly ignored bug by Maemo.

there is a possibility to use wpa2 with root certificate (PEAP) but its a bit ugly:

first you have to install the certificate you want to use via the certificate manager. After that you can follow the instructions at

(Rtalian's entry)

to set your connection properties.

for me there was another glitch then:

I have to save my password in the connection properties, otherwise the authorization will not work.
