Hi to all
I have been observing this forum for some time, and will soon buy an N800, now that Skype and Google Docs seem to work fine on it.
Since my university has TTLS security, getting wpa_supplicant to run is absolutely essential for me. So I downloaded the vmware image and cross compiled wpa_supplicant using scratchbox.
I had no compile errors with the following .config file
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXTENSION=y
CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y
CONFIG_EAP_MD5=y
CONFIG_EAP_MSCHAPV2=y
CONFIG_EAP_TLS=y
CONFIG_EAP_PEAP=y
CONFIG_EAP_TTLS=y
CONFIG_EAP_GTC=y
CONFIG_EAP_OTP=y
CONFIG_EAP_PSK=y
CONFIG_EAP_GPSK=y
CONFIG_EAP_LEAP=y
I was wondering whether I need to add more flags, or this is enough. Specifically, I would need some pointers on the driver/wireless card model in use on the N800...
I would be happy to send the binaries to anyone wiling to test them out on the N800 itself...

My uni uses PEAP (I think), and so I'd definitely be interested. Did you need any dependencies for WPA_Supplicant? I have the INdT VMWare SDK w/scratchbox for Bora - is it a simple download and compile? Are there debian control files (to create a deb) included and/or have you tried recompiling the source from e.g. Ubuntu?

Hi Ryan,
I have used the shoutbox environment in the vmware image...compiled for ARMEL, with cpu transparency turned on. No errors on compile.
Please find the binaries here

give them a go, i haven't packaged them. You just need to run wpa_supplicant with the appropriate switches - the readme is fairly comprehensive

Of course, it might not yield anything - hopefully by knowing more on the wireless module of the N800 we might hack together something better.
I consider wpa_supplicant to be really essential in a great number of scenarios, hopefully we shall have it up and running soon...

Seem to work fine? Based on what information?

Not supported by wpa_supplicant in any form that I was able to find. GL.

Hi linuxbox!

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!

If I recall correctly wireless-tools was available for the 770 tablet...

Wireless tools is available for the n800.

Please tell me where did you find a binary for the N800? On the maemo page for wireless tools there is stated the following homepage: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_...nux/Tools.html

But on this homepage I'm not able to find anything about N800/N770 or similar. There are many contributions available on the download site, but I don't see anything for the Nokia IT.

thanks...I will recompile wpa_supplicant against wireless-tools, that should hopefully yield a working binary, which I will post by end of today. Is anyone willing/ready to beta test it?
cheers
