Problem connecting to WPA2, TTLS, MSCHAPV2 type WiFi - Slackware 14.1


Hi everyone. I am having a bit of a trouble connecting to the Wifi on Slackware 14.1. The specs of the connection are : TTLS, WPA2, MSCHAPV2.
Wicd Network Manager does not seem to have the options I need. It would be great if you could help me out.

wpa_supplicant is able to handle EAP-TTLS, but whether Network Manager can generate a proper configuration file is another matter entirely.

Here's a blog post from someone who managed to get EAP-TTLS working by manually creating a wpa_supplicant configuration file.

Please note that you may have to disable server certificate verification; the combination of EAP-TTLS and MSCHAPv2 (which makes no sense as EAP-TTLS is encrypted and MSCHAPv2 is insecure anyway) means there's probably an MS server at the other end, and it most likely has a self-signed certificate that no-one outside the Windows AD domain can validate.

Also, if you Google for more hints and tips, be aware that EAP-TTLS != EAP-TLS. You do NOT need to obtain a client certificate.
