Ok. I just installed slackware 12 on my laptop which has a built in Intel Pro Wireless 2200 card in it. I did
to find out about my wireless card and found out the firmware wasn't installed. So I downloaded the firmware and copied the correct files to /lib/firmware/ and rebooted. Did the whole dmesg and grep thing again and got

So I assume my wireless card is detected and all. Now here's my problem(I think). My school uses some type of WPA encryption for students to log on to the wireless network. I know it's not WPA-PSK because in the pdf for how to set it up under Windows it says specifically to not choose WPA-PSK. It also says to set the encryption method to AES and to use Protected EAP(whatever those are). My wpa_supplicant.conf file is still in the default state.

# See /usr/doc/wpa_supplicant-0.5.7/wpa_supplicant.conf.sample
# for many more options that you can use in this file.
# This line enables the use of wpa_cli which is used by rc.wireless
# if possible (to check for successful association)
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
# By default, only root (group 0) may use wpa_cli
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
# WPA protected network, supply your own ESSID and WPAPSK here:
network={
scan_ssid=0
ssid="your_essid_here"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
psk=your_psk_here
}
# Plaintext connection (no WPA, no IEEE 802.1X),
# nice for hotel/airport types of WiFi network.
# You'll need a recent version of wireless-tools for this!
network={
ssid="any"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=2
}

So my question is this: What would I need to do to configure my wireless card to connect to the network? Sorry if this is a stupid question. But I've search google for the past three days and I can't find an answer. Thanks in advanced for any help.

P.S. I just looked through the wpa_supplicant.conf.sample file. And I think what I would need to do would be to add another network={} entry that reads something like
Quote:
network={
scan_ssid=0
ssid="msu1x"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity=username
password=password
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}

Any help is greatly appreciated.
