Nokia N900 cannot connect to WPA2 + PEAP + MSCHAPv2 Wifi Networks

Hi, I'm trying to connect my N900 to the wifi network of the
Universidad Politecnica de Valencia and I'm not able to connect.

I'm able to connect without problems if I use both Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 Beta.

These are the parameters I'm choosin during connection:

ESSID: UPVNET2G
EAP Type: PEAP
Certificate: none (trying to install it directly tells me that it's
already installed, anyway I don't think it's mandatory, it's just for
our security).
EAP Mode: EAP MSCHAPv2

Username: ALUMNO\angra4 (I also tried angra4@alumno.upv.es and
angra4@inf.upv.es with no success)
Password: ***************

The error I'm getting is: "Authentication failed, retry?"

I was getting the same error with my N810 :(

Is there any way to fix this problem?

p.s: if you need more technical information about our network, you can
find them here: http://www.upv.es/doc/wifi
and here: http://www.upv.es/contenidos/miw/infoweb/infoacceso/dat/707687normalc.html

p.p.s: if you cannot understand/translate from spanish I can do it for you.

Thanks for you support!

Hi Andrea,

the problem is probably this:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1635

Most European universities are using the eduroam network and most people
cannot connect with their tablets :( It´s the same here at my university...

Cheers!

I had the same stuff at work. I needed to enter the "advanced settings
and set the user name there"

Hope this helps

Confirmed. It's in advanced settings, called "manual user name". To me, it
worked as user@host.name and not as DOMAIN\user , in both fields.

If this fails too, try the certificate.

Going to EAP advanced settings and using angra4@alumno as username I
was able to connect! Wow :)

Really thanks you all for this tip :)

no wait :(

I really talked too fast! Connection manager has a lot of problems, in
my hopinion....
first of all I got disconnected lot of times... then I was able to
connect again but the connection manager said my status was
disconnected, even if I was chatting on Gtalk... so I think there are
some more problems.

Please don't take my previous reply like a workaround.

Thanks,

this issues can be related to the power saving settings, I had the same
problems with some routers.
Go to Settings -> Internet connections -> Connections, then choose the
connection and hit the edit button, follow the setup till the end. At the
end you'll see the "advanced" configurations button, go to the third
tab(others) and change the power saving settings (this can drain your
battery much faster).

HTH

Best,
