Hello,

I've been trying for 3 days to connect to the eduroam WiFi of the University of Groningen with WPA EAP > TTLS > EAP PAP security, but still no success. It still aksk for a WEP key when I try to connect. It's not a bug reported anywhere, I have searched and searched. Please help me, maybe you can suggest smth that I haven't tried yet. Thank you!
This is what i have tried:

1 ) I've copied a wpa_supplicant.conf into /etc/wpa_supplicant/ folder using gpe-file manager with root-acess (installed rootsh), I've installed the certificate they provide for linux platforms, available here http://www.rug.nl/rechten/faculteit/...nux_man_wpasup , but when I select to connect to eduroam over here, it still asks for the WEP key. Nooby thing to do, Maemo is not exactly Linux.
Here is the wpa_supplicant.conf file they are using for Linux:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0

update_config=1
eapol_version=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
ssid="RuG-FN2"
scan_ssid=0
mode=0
eapol_flags=3
id_str="rug"
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
auth_alg=OPEN
eap=TTLS
identity="p<number>@staff.rug.nl" (or s<number>@student.rug.nl)
anonymous_identity="anonymous"
password="<password>"
ca_cert="/etc/certs/ca.pem"
phase2="auth=PAP"
}

RuG_FN2 and eduroam are the same thing.

2) After that, I've installed WLAN Tool to enable TTLS PAP and configured new connection through the New Connection Wizard available in Settings > Internet Connections.
These are the settings I have used:

Connection name: eduroam
Connection type: WLAN
SSID: eduroam
Network is hidden [ ]
Network mode: Infrastructure
Security method: WPA with EAP
EAP type: TTLS
Select certificate: None
EAP method: EAP PAP
Username: s205****@student.rug.nl
Password: ************
Prompt password at every login: [ ]
Advanced:> EAP> Use manual user name: [x]
Manual user name: anonymous

Also tried Use manual user name: [x]
Manual user name: anonymous@student.rug.nl ; anonymous@rug.nl; s205*****@student.rug.nl ;

Also tried Use manual user name: [ ]
Manual user name: _______________

Also, i have tried to connect directly to the saved connection through the dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:"86ca9d79-120d-496f-9d42-e239e5c7f430" uint32:0 code, of course after I found the IAP with gconftool --all-dirs /system/osso/connectivity/IAP and it says
Error com.nokia.icd.error.iap_not_available: Failed to establish requested IAP
I am sure I've copied the IAP correctly, I have tried it many times. It's just like it doesn't detect the saved network in range, the phone detects a network with the same SSID (eduroam) but with WEP security.
Furthermore, when I try to connect to any saved connections, through dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:"[ANY]" uint32:0 , it says that "No saved connections available".

I've asked the guy from IT Service and he said that the WEP layer is an extra-protection layer. Windows computers need extra-software to be able to access the network, Apple computers can be configured without any software and Linux needs the wpa_supplicant.conf which I listed above.

I had previously installed Auto-Disconnect and WiFi Switcher, but I uninstalled both of them... Still not able to connect.
I would try the following: reset the WLAN adapter (I am noob, so don't know what code to use in the X-Terminal, couldn't find it on the web).
Also I have been trying to find a way to bypass the first WEP layer so the phone goes directly to the second WPA layer, but there are only methods to crack the WEP key of a WiFi connection. Useless, since there is no WEP key.

WHAT IS INTERESTING is that I used gconftool -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP
to find the IAP and try again to connect directly. It displays the configuration details of the saved connection. And instead of "EAP_PAP_username" it displays "EAP_MSCHAPV2_username". This is truly strange. Again, in the settings wizard it is configured as WPA with EAP, TTLS, EAP PAP.

I'm completely out of ideas...
Please help me!
Thank you!
