You mean that even if I don't specify a certificate when asked by the connection wizard (so I leave it blank), a certificate is still required and that certificate should be in my N900 as every other certificates?
If yes, is there a security problem by not having that certificate and connecting to that wifi hotspot? In other words what does that certificate secure? The user and password used? The connection?

Same question : is there a security issue by not using the certificate?

Will this command be the one to use as I am not sure :

$ gconftool -s -t boolean /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/<UUID>/EAP_disable_certificate_check true

As I am out of town, it will have to wait for a few days as I don't have access to any of my ISPs wifi hotspots where I am, but as soon as I will try it I will let you know.
