Hi,
at my university there is a WPA2 connection. When connecting from Windows XP, I just select the network, a login and password is required, after that I need to accept some certificates and voila it works.
But on PClinuxOS I am having some trouble.
Let me specifiy at my home where there is no encryption enabled, I can connect fine with PCLOS to this network (wiereless).
At my university I do the following:
Control Centre > Network and Internet > Configure a new interface > Wireless > Select my network card > Select the network >
at this page I see that WPA is already selected and I can write 3 things:
username, password and EAP certificate.
If I try entering only the username and parrword (leaving EAP empty), and continue the wizard, at the end it tells me there is a problem.
On 2009 release the Num Lock and Caps Lock started blinking and I had to reboot, on 2010, it just gives that error and I can go back to the wizard.
The problem is I don't know what to enter in the EAP field. In Windows, I get a certificate and only have to accept it, but in PCLOS I don't know what to do.

Plaease help me.

Using PClinuxOS 2010 XFCE Edition

Ok guy, I don't exaclty know how, but the problem is solved, I am writing you right now from Linux yahoooooo.
I think, but am not sure the problem was caused because Windows (on my other partition) was hibernated.
