WPA Enterprise

[Guest -Wii-]

The problem is that its not an option from the drop down when you try and access a network..

I have been doing some reading up and apparently its possible but I've got stuck

My phone is rooted.

I have and understand how to access adb shell very basically though

anyway I have found the file

wpa_supplicant.conf

but don't know how to edit it and what am I suppose to do with it?

I can't work out how to actually do anything is there a way of getting the file and changing it

once again any help greatly appreciated...

the commands i read up on said something about

vi wpa_supplicant.conf

but vi wasn't a recognised command aparantly?

Completely lost can someone point me in the right direction

use "adb pull" to copy the file to your pc. edit it. use "adb push" to push it back to the phone.

Look here: HowTo - WPA2 Enterprise on Pulse, needs rooted Pulse!

Thats not exactly what you need for WPA Enterprise I guess, but it shows the procedure thats needed to edit the file.

You can google how to configure a WPA Enterprise network, I think the commands used in wpa_supplicant.conf are basically the same in all Linux distros.

Ignore that massive body of text i had up

I am doing this what is wrong

Adb shell

*dameon starts*

adb pull data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf -C

its the bit at the end i dont get is the -c mean it copies it to my C drive cos it says like

258bytes coppeied in 0.6 seconds but there is no evidence of the file in the c directory

where is the file going to ? confused

Right ignore that last one :-)

Now how do I edit the file for WPA Enterprise

theese are the settings required

Network Name (SSID): SHU-USS

Association Mode: WPA

Encryption Method: TKIP

Tick Authenticate using 802

EAP methods: EAP-PEAP

Untick validate server certificate

Inner EAP: EAP-MS-CHAP-V2

this is a typical server in my list

network={

ssid="Livebox-5F50"

psk="2F87592C99A0CED47778AE9200"

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

group=CCMP TKIP

auth_alg=OPEN

priority=11

so how do I create one for the settings ive listen

any help greatly appreciated.

sidenote how do I edit a .conf file?

**EDIT**

Sorry I am aware this is becoming a blog :-)

I have done it worth word pad and saved it to hopefully keep it in the same file format

now when i try and copy it back it says copy failed

I thought maybe because there is a file with that name allready

soI renamed it to see if that was the issue

and it turns out it wasn't....

so why is it failing to let me copy it back?

FINAL EDIT NEVERMIND IVE MANAGED ALL BY MYSELF :-)

I doubt I have the setup right though to be honest so will appreciate help with that.
