I managed to install wpa_supplicant and connected to LEAP network, but this need to be done in command line.

Now the problem, wireless signal status does not appear with this "background" connection.

This connection ONLY work for opera browser and terminal access.
Just wonder any expert able to solve the puzzle. so that it can work for all apps.


Files needed ~
libpcsclite1_1.4.102-1+lenny4_armel.deb
adduser_3.102maemo1_all.deb
wpasupplicant_0.6.4-3_armel.deb

maybe you should tell us where to get those files or give us the commands you ran

3 files has loaded.

Need to install with inception 1st.

Then
build your own wpa_supplicant.conf to suit your network need.

command
#wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
#/sbin/udhcpc -i wlan0 -s /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script -H RM696 -f -R 15 &

you are now should connected to LEAP network.



To stop the wpa_supplicant

pkill wpa_supplicant
sleep 1
rm -fr /var/run/resolv.conf.wlan0
sleep 1
rm -fr /var/run/wpa_supplicant
sleep 1
ifconfig wlan0 down

Anything more user friendly on this topic?
I would need wpa_supplicant as well to connect to a Microsoft server controlled WPA-EAP protected wireless network that is not compatible with Nokias EAP implementation (http://www.nokia.com/ie-en/support/t...FA136101_en_US, same problem on Symbian devices).
However, it doesn't really help if Opera and terminal are the only apps that can use this connection in the end...

I finally managed to connect with WPA-EAP protected network with WPA supplicant. Nokia N9 dont connect with WEP tunnelled EAP network so i used below method.

Got latest source code from
http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/

compiled and put it in: /usr/bin

put my_network.conf into: /etc/

got dummy network installed from web source deb file.
http://maemo.jacekowski.org/mirror/r...network-dummy/

1st connect the dummy network then
run wpa_supplicant

#wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
#/sbin/udhcpc -i wlan0 -s /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script -H RM696 -f -R 15 &

To stop the wpa_supplicant

pkill wpa_supplicant
sleep 1
rm -fr /var/run/resolv.conf.wlan0
sleep 1
rm -fr /var/run/wpa_supplicant
sleep 1
ifconfig wlan0 down
