UWMWiFi is the wireless network used by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Netctl setup
Still a work in progress, but this seems to function
/etc/netctl/UWMWiFi
Description='UWM WiFi Network'
Interface=wlp3s0
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa-configsection
IP=dhcp
WPAConfigSection=(
'ssid="UWMWiFi"'
'key_mgmt=WPA-EAP'
'eap=PEAP'
'identity="user@uwm.edu"'
'password="password"'
'priority=1'
)
Then to connect
# netctl stop-all # netctl enable UWMWiFi # netctl start UWMWiFi
Manual setup
If netctl does not work properly, try connecting manually using the iw tool and wpa_supplicant as directed in Wireless network configuration. Do not forget that most of these commands need to be run with elevated permissions.
/etc/wpa_supplicant/uwm.conf
network={
ssid="UWMWiFi"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity="user@uwm.edu"
password="password"
}
ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant
Get card name
# ip link
Assuming your card is wlan0
# ip link set wlan0 up # wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/uwm.conf # dhcpcd wlan0
After resuming from sleep or similar
# dhcpcd wlan0 -k # dhcpcd wlan0
So far, this method seems more reliable.
About identity
On some parts of campus the identity field requires "@uwm.edu" and on some parts it requires only the username. For example, the in the Union connecting will fail if you include @uwm.edu, but in the EMS it will fail without it.
This will be tested and validated in the future.
