 |
|
Hey everyone,
I'm transitioning over to iwd after using wpa_supplicant for years and so far I'm impressed.
However, I'm struggling to connect to my university's network. I am able to connect using wpa_supplicant and my phone, but cannot connect with iwd.
The following information works fine in wpa_supplicant:
| Code: | network={
ssid="SCHOOLNETWORK"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity="username@schooldomain.ca"
password="password"
} |
However, when I read the documentation for iwd at https://iwd.wiki.kernel.org/networkconfigurationsettings and in the iwd.network manpage, I think I need more information, specifically the Phase2-Method. I was never provided a certificate, so that's not it. How would I determine what PEAP method my school network uses?
I also suspect I might want to be using EAP-PWD? I notice it doesn't require a certificate, only a username and password.
I've been playing around in my config file for a while and all I get whenever I try and connect to the network is "Not configured".
Thanks!
Here are two different config files I have tried to use:
| Code: | [Security]
EAP-Method=PWD
EAP-Identity=username@schooldomain.ca |
| Code: | [Security]
EAP-Identity=username@schooldomain.ca
EAP-Method = PEAP
EAP-PEAP-ServerDomainMask=*.schooldomain.ca
EAP-PEAP-Phase2-Identity=username |
Output of emerge --info iwd

The forum guidelines state:
| Quote: | | If someone is posting about a problem they are experiencing, don't simply tell them they are using the wrong program and recommend they try your recommendation. |
The OP states they are transitioning to using iwd, and are seeking help for a specific aspect of that, not that that they are looking for options for wifi connection management in general. |

I think what jpsollie was after for was that those other programs would create a possible working configuration for iwd because they use iwd under the hood (with correct flags).
I think I've used this tactic by using NetworkManager to create a working wpa_supplicant configuration.
But now looking at it, it looks like NetworkManager controls wpa_supplicant via dbus, so I guess that's the case with iwd too.
I guess it was different back then.
