Android settings for NUS Wireless

[wp]

For FROYO (2.2), refer to http://waipeng.blogspot.com/2010/07/nus-wireless-on-android-froyo.html

For ECLAIR (2.1 and below), follow the below instructions

You need adb to be working. Please refer to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

To confirm that it is working, issue "adb device". Your device should show up.

• Copy the wpa_supplicant file to your computer

Code:

adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf wpa_supplicant.conf

• Edit the wpa_supplicant.conf to reflect the below

Code:

ap_scan=2

network={
   ssid="NUS"
   key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
   group=WEP104 WEP40
   auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
   eap=PEAP
   identity="<nusnetid>"
   anonymous_identity="<nusnetid>"
   password="<password>"
   ca_cert="/data/misc/wifi/cert.pem"
   phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}

• Download the attached cert.pem.
• Push both cert.pem and wpa_supplicant.conf to the device.

Code:

adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
adb push cert.pem /data/misc/wifi/cert.pem

• Change the permissions of the file

Code:

chown wifi.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
chown wifi.wifi /data/misc/wifi/cert.pem

Why so complicated one? Will the Nexus One be better?

cause android uses wpa_supplicant and although it supports it, the UI doesn't... so it takes some voodoo magic to make it work... i think 1.6 supports configuration through the ui... though i never knew where to place the certs....

• Change the permissions of the file

Code:

chmod wifi.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
chmod wifi.wifi /data/misc/wifi/cert.pem

it should be chown.... not chmod... ^_^

• Change the permissions of the file

Code:

chmod wifi.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
chmod wifi.wifi /data/misc/wifi/cert.pem

it should be chown.... not chmod... ^_^

Okie changes made.

For Froyo, the following config works

network={
        ssid="NUS"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
        auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
        eap=PEAP         
        identity="username"   
        password="password" 
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}

have you tried using the GUI to configure?

[lzs]

The froyo gui still faill to produce a config that works out of the box.

[melynx]

even after the cert is imported?

[lzs]

even after the cert is imported?

Ah ok that I didn't try. I presumed it's not needed since my working config doesn't require the cert.

Put froyo on your phone? WP has it working liao.
