I am trying to connect a raspberry pi to my college network and I'm having trouble finding the right settings to put into wpa_supplican.conf. The only thing the IT department was able to tell was that I should verify these settings are correct:

EAP method: PEAP

Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPV2

CA Certification: Do not validate

IP settings: DHCP

I've added the following to my wpa_supplicant.conffile:

network={
        ssid="eduroam"
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        pairwise=CCMP
        auth_alg=OPEN
        eap=PEAP
        identity="[email protected]"
        password="xxxx"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}

With these settings I am able to connect to the network but I do not have internet access which makes me think I'm on the right track but there is still something I'm missing.

  • Do you get an IP address (ifconfig wlan0)? Do you have a default route (route) Some college networks require you to log in / register the device first with IT support and they should always be your first contact as they are responsible for security on the network.

  • I do get an IP address @Andrew but its not of the same form as the one I get for my laptop for example and I suppose they should be similar? I don't know about the route I'm afraid but I don't believe any registration is required, none of my other devices needed to be registered when I first connected them anyway.

  • Can you show the output of the ifconfig and route commands in your question please (just use edit on the question). Also the wpa_supplicant file should be included not the example - hide the user / password info using xxx - where possible copy / paste as quotes and spacing can be important.

  • Will do @Andrew. I gave it to someone else to tinker with for now but I'll update the question once I have it back

At my school you are not allowed to connect to eduroam at your home university. You can connect to an access point but you won't get internet access.
