wicd can't connect to network w/ PEAP with TKIP/MSCHAPV2

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I am trying to connect to the wireless network at my university which uses PEAP with MSCHAPV2 encryption. For some reason networkmanager is able to connect just fine, but wicd gets stuck at "Validating Authentication..." I would much prefer to use wicd over networkmanager, so im hoping to be able to get to the bottom of this.Any ideas? Here is some potentially useful info:Wireless card from lspci:03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (rev 34)Relevant excerpt from wicd.log:2012/09/26 09:35:44 :: iwconfig wlan0 2012/09/26 09:35:45 :: enctype is peap-tki (HowTos)

Great! I had the same problem, today wicd stopped working for my PEAP/MSCHAP university network. It was either due to a password change or due to a package upgrade. Using PEAP/GTC works like a charm.

I'm trying to connect to the (new) network of my University with Wicd. But I can't seem to get through the verification.It uses WPA2-PEAP with mschapv2, I have all the credentials required. What options should I choose?

[kubuntu] Wicd in Kubuntu 36 weeks 6 days ago

Hello to all.

I recently installed Kubuntu 12.04 on my Dell Latitude E6420.

I'm new to KDE and have what many will no doubt think is a newbie question.

I need to connect my laptop in a university setting.

I'm trying to connect to my school's wireless on Ubuntu with wicd, but it requires a username and a password. It's WPA2 with PEAP. I set wicd to PEAP but it always returns "bad password" no matter how many times I try it. Am I missing something or doing it wrong?

Hi all, The title pretty much says it all, when trying to connect I've entered my password, PEAP version 0, mschapv2, and everything looks right. Network Manager keeps trying to connect, until it stalls out and asks for my password again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I am having a problem with my laptop trying to connect to eduroam type network in my university. Sometimes I am able to connect, but mostly it would fail while trying to connect.

I'm currently using WICD, which I switched to after network manager was unable to retain a wireless connection for more than 10 minutes at a time.

Using WICD, my connection has been stable for months, and I've had no problems connecting to my network using WPA2.

I should mention that I have no problem connecting to this network with either networkmanager or wicd. The problem is that when I do connect it is very, very slow. Very rarely it will work but most of the time it fails to load the page in network manager. In wicd it is slightly better however it crashes constantly.

I am experiencing something annoying. My University's wireless network uses thistype of security: WPA2, EAP-PEAP, MSCHAPV2. If I turn the laptop on, Ialways can connect to the university's network, but if I disconnect the wirelessfrom network-manager or suspend the laptop, it is impossible to reconnectit.
