WPA-Enterprise support in wifi-menu

[taylorchu]

Currently all WPA-Enterprise ssids fail right away because wifi-menu cannot enter id and password.

Any news on this one? More details?

[musteresel]

I don't know whether it will be simple or even possible to implement this (in a nice way). The WLAN here at my university uses wpa-enterprise with id and password, plus additional security certificate. Connecting to such a wifi network is impossible unless the certifacte has been aquired on some other way first.

Furthermore there are many possibilities how the second authorisation is done. It may be (probably, i am unsure about this) not possible to select the required method automatically, meaning the user has to select this by hand.

I am unsure if this is faster / easier than just creating a netcl profile "by hand".

[taylorchu]

I refer to those APs that do not need cert.

[musteresel]

Could you provide the result of wpa_cli -i YOUR_INTERFACE scan && sleep 10 && wpa_cli -i YOUR_INTERFACE scan_results when you are in reach of such networks?

I realize that this hasn't been updated in 18 days, but I was/am still having issues with netctl and WPA-Enterprise networks. Both CCIS-Wireless and NUWave I believe are WPA-Enterprise networks. You'll notice something funny happening towards the bottom with one of the networks being named null characters. I'm not really sure what's happening there. I chose to run the scan twice and embedded the results. Both say FAIL-BUSY at the top, but they have the same output as well I ran it and it said OK at the top.

I too have this issue, maybe netctl should 'catch' such networks and inform the user as to lack of support and that template files are to be found in /etc/netctl/examples.. I will fork and have a go at adding this atleast and perhaps it can be extended in the future to actually add support in another menu system since WPA-E is a bit more involved then just a pass{key,phrase}.
