Did you try The eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)?
Haha, that would've been handy! No, I used your the wpa_supplicant method as described in your README.md.
Shortly after I managed to get the eduroam connection it suddenly stopped working. I now tried CAT. I don't get connection and it keeps asking for my password. It doesn't say I entered wrong credentials, I only get the "Authentication required" screen.
I use Linux Mint 18.3.
Are you using the "Quick and dirty start-up" method to spin up wpa_supplicant
? Because then you can omit the -B
option and get more detailed information.
You can get even more detailed (debug) information, by passing in the -d
or -dd
option. Also, to get wpa_supplicant
to write to a file instead of stdout, use the -f
option. For more, see man 8 wpa_supplicant
.
If you are relying on your Linux Mint installation to start up wpa_supplicant
, I think you should be looking for log messages from wpa_supplicant
in your syslog (i.e., /var/log/syslog
). In either case, we need some more information than "suddenly stopped working" ;-)
By the way, it might have "stopped working" precisely because your system is starting one instance of wpa_supplicant
, and then you manually start another using the `"Quick and dirty start-up" method. These two instances then compete for your network card, resulting in things that "suddenly" stop working.
Thanks but nevermind. I noticed I wasn't even able to connect to my home network. (It's quite an old machine.) Restarting the system solved the problem and I haven't had any problems with my connection to either my home network or eduroam. Sorry for the hassle. Everything is working fine.
Just made it work at Hogeschool Gent.
The staff didn't know about this method so I'll make sure they get a reference to this repo.
Thanks a lot!
