OSU Wireless-Network: Setup for Linux
The Office of Information Technology's Help Desk does not support Linux. However, a machine running Linux operating system with an open source client that supports the following should be able to connect to OSUWireless-Network:
- Encryption: WPA Radius with TKIP key exchange
- Authentication: 802.1x with PEAP and MSCHAPv2
- SSID: osuwireless
For an example of a Linux configuration for OSU Wireless-Network, click here.

Linux configuration example:
NOTE: The following configuration may not work exactly as shown for all flavors of Linux and all wireless drivers. Shown is a configuration for the Debian package "WPA Supplicant".
********Start
## wpa_supplicant.conf
## After installing wpa_supplicant, use this config file to connect to the
osuwireless network.
## This config was written for the ipw2200 card driver and could possibly
vary slightly for other cards.
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
# Your home network. Encryption here is WPA-Personal aka WPA-PSK.

# EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 configuration for RADIUS servers that use the old
peaplabel
# (e.g., osuwireless)
network={
ssid="osuwireless"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
