I am running OpenSuSe Tumbleweed. Its not that I don’t connect it is that I cannot even hit ok and setup the SSID itself. The connection is a WPA2 Enterprise using PEAP. When ever I try to put in my username and password I the OK button stays greyed out. I have tried everything I can think of I have made sure I have updated the firmware and still no progress. I don’t know what else to do.
Hi shaidou87,
have you found a way around? I would be interested to know. What I’ve found is the following:
Are you using Network Manager?
Your wireless connection option should then have options for PEAP.
You can’t use Wicked for these kinds of connections… or at least without great pain…
TSU
No I’m not using a Network Manager. And even though its not recommended I’ve tried to install Suse via WiFi, but without success, since I can’t see that it supports WPA2 on the NetInstall. Though I have found a way around using an external wireless adapter, I’m still interested if there was a simpler workaround.
If there is a better way to connect to a WiFi AP with WPA2, let me know.
Change the “mode” there are three selections, it might work.
My wifi doesn’t support WPA2 enterprise so I can’t test.
ok.
I am using nm-connections-editor [gui interface for connections]
I also have nmtui [network text user interface]
the wireless “connections” should be in /etc/NetworkManager/systems-connections.
and yes, you can creat some and edit them.
you can find that stuff on :
https://software.opensuse.org/package/NetworkManger-connection-editor
https://software.opensuse.org/package/NetworkManger-tui
I assume you have the nmcli, and the basic stuff for the NetworkManager.
if not you can find it in there.
that’s the good news [if there is some…]
They are files so you can vim and vi them also the editor above is kind of a “macro editor” and creates more detailed instructions if you will.
The problem that I have is that, though I have better access to viewing them, I have the same problem.
I am running the Network Manager, I can see all of the networks in the East Stroudsburg University environment.
I built one for the Computer Science department off of a cisco 1282 Access point supported by free radiusd.
I can confirm that the access point works, my macbook has access via a profile I setup on it.
the access point is setup with WPA, and 802.1x peap / MSchapv2.
“Dark-net1” which is basically a network profile, and listed below.
I will admit to vim on the file, this was not created by the nm-connections-editor, that editor only allows 802.1x to have wep, so I inserted what i found on a configuration of wpa for security, and there is probably some syntax error. be that as it may, I have played with this for more than a week. If someone can give me an idea of what should work, I would appreciate it.
[help here Suse guys, I need help…]
all that said… I can cat the file :
nightstorm:/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections # cat dark-net2

sorry, should have mentioned I am tumbleweed os-release: version= 20170406
and I have 3 other ESU lans working, so I can say the Network Manager appears to work, we just have to straighten out some details…

It would have been even better when you would have started a new thread instead of hanging at the end of this old one. Because:
- not many people will watch such old threads for new posts (I only noticed this by incident).
- versions most probably have changed from when the original thread is started.
- you probably do not have exactly the same problem as discussed here.
And when you are going to start e new thread (to advertise your request for help as good as possible), please use CODE tags around copied/pasted computer text in a post. It is the # button in the tool bar of the post editor. When applicable copy/paste complete, that is including the prompt, the command, the output and the next prompt.
Regards,
PS I will close this one to avoid further mixing up of things.
