This is how I connected to the Penn. State wireless network (2.0) with GNU/Linux and wpa_supplicant. Here is the network information from PSU:

+ +

+SSID: psu
+Security: WPA2-Enterprise
+Encryption: AES
+Authentication Type: EAP-TTLS
+Authentication Protocol: PAP
+Certificate Authority: Thawte Premium Server CA +

+ +

The following configuration block needs to be entered into /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

+ +
+network={
+    ssid="psu"
+    identity="your_access_id_here"
+    password="your_password_here"
+    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
+    eap=TTLS
+    phase2="auth=PAP"
+    ca_cert="/etc/ssl/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem"
+}
+
+ +Check that your wireless card is up with `ifconfig` and that you are in range of an access point with `iwlist scan`. You can now connect using wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd. Change the following line to use your wireless driver and interface. + +
+wpa_supplicant -B -D wext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
+dhcpcd wlan0
