To connect Ubuntu 7.04 to concordia wireless network: Step 1 /etc/network/interfaces show look like this for ath0 cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto ath0 iface ath0 inet dhcp wpa-driver madwifi wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp Step 2 cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ap_scan=2 network={ ssid="REftRW2d" scan_ssid=1 auth_alg=OPEN key_mgmt=IEEE8021X eap=LEAP identity="i_gouss" password="XXXXXXXX" } Step 3 Disable default network manager /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop Step 4 At this point you can probably connect to the network /etc/init.d/networking stop wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi dhclient ath0 I rebooted the computer and it connected automatically. Unfortunately Network Manager Applet no longer display available networks :-(

hey,
i’ve been trying to connect with my ubuntu since last fall - to no avail. now i’m using 7.04, have tried your lines and when i run wpa_supplicant it still comes up with:
Ubuntu used too much memory and xubuntu had some strange bugs, so I install OpenSuSE yesterday. It’s a little bit more polished but it has same problems because it uses wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager. I will try to figure out the correct way to configure wireless this week and I’ll post an update.
Anybody got wifi working on Ubuntu 7.04 with the new Wireless setting from Concordia? The instructions found at:
http://rorschach.concordia.ca/neg/remote_access/wireless/config-linux.html
are not working… Those provided here worked, but are now obsolete.
Hans:
- copy the stuff from http://wireless.concordia.ca under Linux (wpa_supplicant). Edit to put in ur username + password, and save as /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.CONCORDIA
- open prompt, enter:
sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.CONCORDIA
if it says: “connected sucessfully”, then:
sudo dhclient
that should get you connected. I’ve tried on Dapper and Fiesta, both works fine
