Connecting ASUS eee to a wireless network

[srochford]

How??

 

We have an Aruba wireless network. For Windows machines it just works - group policy tells the machines the SSID name, sets everything up to connect securely, makes a certificate available and all is well using WPA.

 

How can I get Linux to connect? I've tried installing the certificate manually; I get a message saying it's been installed but when I try to connect I get asked for a WPA key which I haven't got!

 

What I'd guess I'm looking for is the Linux equivalent of the wireless stuff in XP where you specify whether it's PEAP etc that's used for security but I can't find anything like this.

I have got a set of laptops that dont pick up my aruba wireless as its wpa so i created a second SSID with wep and it works fine.
