Eduroam on Maemo (on the N900)

Posted on

The University of Waterloo has joined the eduroam international educational institution WiFi access exchange program. I am very happy about this, since eduroam uses good WPA2+RADIUS authentication instead of stupid captive portal stuff. Since I had to do some research to figure out how to connect from my N900, I thought I would share that here.

  1. Go to Settings > Internet connections > Connections > New
  2. Select WPA with EAP for security.
  3. EAP type: PEAP
  4. Certificate: none
  5. EAP method: EAP MSCHAPv2
  6. User name: user@uwaterloo.ca
  7. Password: Your Quest password
  8. Hit “Advanced”
  9. Go to the EAP tab
  10. Check the box “Use manual user name” and enter user@uwaterloo.ca again

The last three steps are the extra part. I go this information from this thread. I have no idea what the difference is between a “manual user name” and the username that is part of the login prompt. Maybe someone else knows?
