NOTE: it seems that the last distributions (Ubuntu 8.10, Mandriva 2009, OpenSuSE 11.1...) are coming with the last version of networkmanager which seems to work painless with our dear proprietary EUI-wireless... But this is still under test!
Disclaimer: this method has been proved with Ubuntu 8.04. Before continuing, you should check whether your wireless card has been detected by your system. For this type in a console:
ifconfig
You should see something like "ath0" or "wlan0"...
Click on nm-applet and select "Connect to other wireless network"
In the dialog box, fill out
You need to use a Verisign certificate in order to authenticate the information the EUI server sends. Click on CA Certificate file, and navigate to /etc/ssl/certs , and select Verisign_Class_3_Public_Primary_Certification_Authority.pem
If it's not there, install the ca-certificates package. Open a console and type:
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates
Then click okay and wait for a new dialog box:
And then you should connect!
Let me know if there are any problems. If you don't have the latest version of network-manager, I think wpa_supplicant will do the same thing (but in a much more complicated way).
