Wouldn't it be EAP-TLS which is used with private key and certificate? Or maybe this is PEAP with EAP-TLS in Phase 2? Without knowing what the authentication server expects, it is difficult to provide more guidance on how to configure wpa_supplicant for that. In any case, the configuration here is invalid, i.e., PEAP with MSCHAPv2 requires a user name and password. > sudo wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd wired -i eth0 I'm surprised if that command line would actually be accepted.. The driver interface would need to be selected with -Dwired. > Initializing interface 'eth0' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver > 'default' ctrl_interface 'N/A' bridge 'N/A' ... > nl80211: Supported cipher 00-0f-ac:4 And this seems to imply that the nl80211 (Wi-Fi) driver interface is used instead. You'll need to add -Dwired to the command line for the operations to work. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
