Here’s a wicd template for the EAP-TTLS + PAP setup at the University of Leipzig. This was just a small customization of the template from Shawn MacLean, so all credit goes to him. Create the file /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/eap-ttls containing:
name = EAP-TTLS with PAP
author = Shawn MacLean
version = 1
require identity *Identity password *Password ca_cert *Path_to_CA_Cert
-----
network={
ssid="$_ESSID"
scan_ssid="$_SCAN"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=TTLS
ca_cert="$_CA_CERT"
identity="$_IDENTITY"
password="$_PASSWORD"
phase2="auth=PAP"
}
Add eap-ttls to /etc/wicd/encryption/templates/active, restart the GUI and the settings should now appear in the dropdown menu.









I did know about these wicd templates. Can one use them to connect via 3G modem?
These wicd templates are really fill-in-the-blank templates for wpa_supplicant.conf. You’ll need to have some wireless network to connect to. Does the 3G modem appear as a wired interface in the wicd gui (or appear at all)?
