Lots of German universities use Cisco VPN appliances for enabling access to the internet via their unauthorized, open Wifi networks (i.e. they don't use Wifi security measures but rather use a VPN gateway).
Carsten, the solution you described looks as if it should work. However, compiling single kernel modules without recompiling the whole kernel has always been a PITA, so YMMV.
Also, if I'm guessing right, you might also be able to use "eduroam", the newer method. It uses enterprise WPA (Radius authentification). How to configure the kindle for these kinds of networks was already described here. It works without additional software (except for the means of bringing it up, like e.g. launchpad). Just search for "eduroam". If your university takes part in the eduroam initiative, the nice thing is that it is much more stable than Ciscos proprietary VPN and it will work in other universities, too.
