Authentication None
So, on my schools campus-air wifi, i need to set the inner authentication in PEAP to none in order to connect, which Linux mint doesnt have. Can i do anything about this?

Re: Authentication None
Are you asking how to set a blank password?
If so, I think this might work. (I have a similar network at my workplace, but I'm on break and won't be back till next week so I can't test it.)
Open a terminal and run
Now let's edit the correct file. If you're on Mint 18 Cinnamon, MATE, or Xfce, then
If Mint 18, 17.x, or 13 KDE then
If Mint 17.x or 13 Cinnamon
If Mint 17.x or 13 MATE, then
If Mint 17.x or 13 Xfce, then
You should see a line that looks like this:
Try deleting everything after
If not, then try setting it to
If that doesn't work, try deleting the entire password line and (you guessed it) saving the file and then trying to connect.
If that doesn't work then I'm fresh out of ideas, but I would like to know if this helped or not.
Cheers! And sorry I couldn't be more specific.

Open a terminal and run
ls /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
. You'll see a bunch of files (probably); each one holds the connection info for a router that you've connected to. Look for the network you want to connect to - for example, if your school's network name is "bestschoolever" then look for that in the output.Now let's edit the correct file. If you're on Mint 18 Cinnamon, MATE, or Xfce, then
Code: Select all
gksudo xed /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/bestschoolever
Code: Select all
kdesudo kate /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/bestschoolever
Code: Select all
gksudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/bestschoolever
Code: Select all
gksudo pluma /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/bestschoolever
Code: Select all
gksudo mousepad /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/bestschoolever
You should see a line that looks like this:
Code: Select all
password=<some password HERE>
password=
, save the file, and see if that works.If not, then try setting it to
password=""
(two double-quotes with nothing between them). Don't forget to save the file before you try to connect.If that doesn't work, try deleting the entire password line and (you guessed it) saving the file and then trying to connect.
If that doesn't work then I'm fresh out of ideas, but I would like to know if this helped or not.

Re: Authentication None
Sorry maybe i didnt define my question correctly: When setting uo the connection, i have to select an inner authentication type in the dropdown menu: MSCHAPv2, MD5, GTC. The Problem, our school needs "none" here. This works out on both my android 7.1.1 and 6.0 cyanogenmod version, but not on my laptop since it doesnt have none in the dropdown. already tried changing it to none via Terminal, didnt work.

Re: Authentication None
When you say you tried changing it to none via terminal, what do you mean exactly?
Re: Authentication None
Like it was suggested somewhere else, is set the network up with MD5 as the inner authentication and then editet the configuration File in the terminal replacing MD5 with none. this seemed to work for a handfull of people but not for me

Re: Authentication None
I see, so you changed the line to equal
Well, if that didn't work, try using my steps above, but with
Try deleting everything after phase2-autheap=, save the file, and see if that works.
If not, then try setting it to phase2-autheap=""(two double-quotes with nothing between them). Don't forget to save the file before you try to connect.
If that doesn't work, try deleting the entire phase2-autheap=<METHOD> line,save the file, and try to connect.
Code: Select all
phase2-autheap=<METHOD>
none
.Well, if that didn't work, try using my steps above, but with
phase2-autheap=
instead of password=

Re: Authentication None
The error was a total different one that i thought, our network received and update whith which my android devices auto updated their settings and i didnt realize it. Also, my firmware for my wifi card was outdated and following this tutorial the network techician sent me, i was able to fix it now. http://askubuntu.com/questions/726292/c ... book-ux305
