Hi, I have an n800 and have just went to college. My college does not allow the use of your own wireless routers so the only way to connect it is through their network. The problem is when trying to connect to it the n800 says it needs a certificate, yet they do not give certificates. I know on the computer their was an option to deselect this, but on the nokia I do not see this can someone please help?

I put up a tutorial a long time ago on connecting to my old university's wireless network (WPA2 enterprise) on my n810 at http://digitasaru.net/computers/linux/ui-wireless/

I probably should have shared it on here a long time ago. Sorry, everybody!

For most of your certificate needs, the ca-certificates package should work. I don't recall offhand if this is already installed, or if it needs to be installed via the maemo extras or something. If it's in a repository you already have enabled, you just need to run apt-get install ca-certificates. If you don't have it already, you can get Ubuntu's karmic one and it *should* work, I think (I've not tried it iirc). It's available at http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/ca-certificates (click on the "All" architecture at the bottom of the page; it's just a directory chock full of text files containing certificate authority certificates.) Once you've installed the package, you can find them under /etc/ssl/certs.

HTH!
