FreeRadius, PEAP, WPA_Supplicant

I am using FreeRadius and PEAP. My windows client are connecting fine using PEAP. Strangely, I do not have to add a certificate to my windows client and they connect fine. I get the login prompt and I use the password for that account and BAM I am connected. Now when I try and use linux and WPA_Supplicant, I cannot connect for the life of me and I have been pecking at this for several months and am getting tired of it. Can someone help me out with getting linux to connect using PEAP. Here is my current wpa_supplicant.conf:

PHP Code:



network={
    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X NONE
    proto=RSN WPA
    eap=PEAP
    scan_ssid=1
    mode=0
    ca_cert="/home/dabeast/Certs/cacert.pem"
    pairwise=CCMP TKIP
    password="wireless"
    group=CCMP TKIP
    identity="minddabizz"
    ssid="Zor"
    phase2="autheap=MSCHAPV2"

}

Freeradius is mighty picky with the exact configuration of clients and the way they authenticate.

Your configuration seems fine, though I've never personally used PEAP. The only thing I could recommend to fix this is run Freeradius on debug mode and try to connect your machine running wpa_supplicant. The trace left by the server should give you a decent hint to what the problem might be.

Good luck.
