From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[SOLVED: BAD LOGIN] Can't connect to WPA2-EAP on Fedora Kinoite (lemmy.zip)

EDIT: Turns out my login information was slightly wrong, and had nothing to do with security.

My school uses EAP for its student WiFi, but there's no option for "EAP" security (PEAP, LEAP and every other option in KDE's WiFi security settings wouldn't connect). I'm pretty sure there was an option for EAP on Linux Lite (my previous OS before kinoite) which connected successfully. Is it possible to use EAP in Kinoite, and how do I enable/use it?

EAP is a wrapper for a bunch of different protocols. EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-TLS, etc. If you have access to the network settings on a Windows machine you may be able to get more information there.

Also, try stack exchange: https://askubuntu.com/questions/279762/how-to-connect-to-wpa2-peap-mschapv2-enterprise-wifi-networks-that-dont-use-a-c

You probably want Peap. I don't belieave you can't do EAP by itself. Go to your schools help page for the correct information.

Also since you are on Lemmy.zip, I do run a Linux question community [email protected]

I've already tried PEAP (didn't work), but I swear Linux Lite had a security option for EAP (which did work).

Talk to your IT help desk. Peap has lots of configuration options
