N900 wifi problem: peap cannot use
 

I use the wifi of my school. It is PEAP wifi and I have change the setting in the internet connection. But when i connected to the wlan, it kept asking for WEP key. There is no wep key for my school's net and I should use username and password to connect the net.

Have you tried http://wiki.maemo.org/PEAP%2BMSCHAPv2 ?

Yes. I have seen this page but it didn't work.......

I have the same problem at work we use PEAP/EAP MSCHAPv2 for authentication but I think also WEP/CKIP for data encription? Not sure, anyway it asks me for a WEP key when I try and connect to the network.

Yeah...same problem here. Hope it gets fixed in the next release.

Hi,
I am facing exactly same problem. My organization is using EAP + PEAP + MSCHAP2 and when I try to connect it asks for WEP key.
I am using Maemo 5, Version 20.2010.36-2.002.
Any helpful pointers please ?

Unfortunately the built-in wireless manager of the N900 does not recognize the combination of WEP and PEAP, and is only willing to connect to PEAP networks if they run WPA/WPA2 (in which case it actually runs quite nicely).
bazz - I don't think it's be fixed in the next version simply because I don't think there will be a next version. Nokia have already made it quite clear that they intend to drop Maemo as soon as possible.
The only solution I can find to your problem is to try installing wpa_supplicant on your device and connect to the network manually by using wpa_supplicant and iwconfig (yeah I know it's called wpa_supplicant but it supports WEP+PEAP as well). Unfortunately it doesn't seem that wpa_supplicant is available in any Maemo repository to you may have to compile it yourself (or maybe you can grab it from a Debian repository if it doesn't have an entire dependency tree that you don't have behind it).


Update: Actually coming to think about it, I think it may actually be possible to use the built-in manager to connect after configuring it manually once with gconftool. I'll look more into it if you want if you're still here to see the results. :)
