The first time I tried ~usbNetwork is with firmware 3.1. You are right and I missed this one. My company uses LEAP. I will try and get back |

My company networked worked now!
I managed to connect to my company network finally! Woooohooo! Thanks for the tip!!
This is what I used. My company uses LEAP and TKIP. I just replaced the SSID/LOGIN/PASSWORD, and it just connects superbly and automatically. Quote:

Hello guys. I've been following this thread and trying to get my kindle 3 to work with my college wifi. but so far, no luck.
I followed everything mentioned in the posts and have been tweaking my config script, but I haven't been able to get it to work. Here's what my college suggest people to do in Linux to get online: Code:
network={ ssid="SchoolName" # essid... [REQUIRED] proto=WPA # only WPA works, only required with b43 drivers [REQUIRED] key_mgmt=WPA-EAP # only TKIP works need to prevent default to WPA-PSK [REQUIRED] pairwise=CCMP # only CCMP & TKIP work, CCMP is more secure group=TKIP # only TKIP works eap=PEAP # only PEAP works phase1="peapver=0 peaplabel=0" # only peaplabel=0 works, only peapver=0 works phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2" # works, not sure what it does, or what else works scan_ssid=1 # 0 and 1 work, 0 is possibly faster identity="<username>" # username [REQUIRED] password="<password>" #password [REQUIRED] } Code:
#!/bin/sh sleep 6 id="`wpa_cli list_networks | grep schoolName | cut -f1 | sed -n '1p'`" exec="`wpa_cli << EOF set_network $id ssid \"SchoolName\" set_network $id scan_ssid 1 set_network $id key_mgmt WPA-EAP set_network $id pairwise CCMP set_network $id group TKIP set_network $id eap PEAP set_network $id phase1 \"peapver=0 peaplabel=0\" set_network $id phase2 \"auth=MSCHAPV2\" set_network $id identity \"username\" set_network $id password \"password\" enable_network $id quit EOF `" echo $exec #!/usr/bin/perl And also I don't know much about shell script, but I have a parenthesis and a colon in my password, do they mess up the script? Thanks a lot! |

Did you create your personal wifi with the same SSID and did you succesfully connected to it?

See #27 & #28.
You need to setup a (personal) wifi that has the same name (ssid) as the enterprise/university network that you want your kindle connected to - say the ssid is "eduroam". This personal wifi can have some simple wep/wpa authentication, so that there is no problem connecting to it with your kindle. Once the kindle has been connected to any wifi with the ssid "eduroam", it will remember it as a "known" network and it will connect automatically to any network with that same ssid. Even to an enterprise/university network, if you have the hack applied. |

Yes, that is just a typo, though i shouldnt' cause any problems. The hack works for 3.1 and i don't think there are any appreciable differences between 3.1 and 3.2.1.

I can now confirm that eduroam "hack" works on 3.2.1 firmware as well. Thanks to everyone to make this thing happening.
On a side note, even though it's "harmless", do you think you can remove the "#!/usr/bin/perl" bit from the original script please? This thing is all over the places in the net; people are copy-n-pasting blindfolded, which actually leaves a few extra error messages in the log. Not a very big deal for sure. Cheers!! |

Hey having trouble understanding the scripts. Is it the forum code tags that's escaping all the quotes or must you escape all special characters in a script?
Also, lines that include set_network @id ...., how do you know what viable options are? For instance, group is often set to TKIP. My network is AES. Do i simply change TKIP to AES or is there a different word where "group" should be. I guess what I'm asking is what resource helps you to write a script like this? How can I know all the different settings that can be changed using set_network? Thanks, Ransom |
