Perhabs you know it already: The N800 offers TTLS security out of the box. But it allows only the authentification protocols "EAP-GTC", "EAP-MSCHAPv2" and "MSCHAPv2" in combination with TTLS.

For this reason I'm also very interested in wpa_supplicant because my university in Germany uses TTLS with PAP authentification. Nokia doesn't support PAP with TTLS in any of their mobile devices.

My university has published a online manual (only in german language) how to connect to the WLAN using a Linux computer. There they say, that the use of the packages "wpa_supplicant" and "wireless-tools" would be essential. I don't know if Wireless tools is already compiled for the N800, but it is listed under maemo.org: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/tools

I hope this information will be helpful for you. Unfortunately I'm not so used to linux that I could compile something for my own. So please let me know if you've made any progress! Thank you!
