Ah, the fun of college life. My university has wpa2 enterprise wifi spots that I have been unable to connect to using wicd. None of the default provided templates seem to work at all. As far as I know, they are WPA2 with AES/TKIP encryption and I’m required to input a login/password instead of a shared key or certificate.
So far my efforts have been pretty futile (such as complaining on irc 
. NetworkManager has connected successively before I ditched it (which dubbed the wifi wpa enterprise, so I know that I can connect to the encrypted network. I don’t know how to roll a template for wicd or even wpa_supplicant for this situation however, so I’m currently at a loss.
Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Hi, most university networks (at least around here) are a part of “eduroam” project, which I have some experience with
the working example of wpa_supplicant.conf would be something like
——begin here——-
network={
ssid=”eduroam”
priority=5
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity=”USERNAME@DOMAIN”
proto=WPA
password=”PASSWORD”
ca_cert=”CACERT”
}
——end here——-
replace the USERNAME, DOMAIN and PASSWORD with your login info, adjust the CACERT to point to the correct CA certificate (sometinh like /etc/wpa_supplicant/cert.pem). also not that some additional security measures are missing here, but this should suffice to get you connected
PS: extra newlines are added to make this look good here, they are not needed in the actual conf file
