+====== eduroam with wpa_supplicant ======
+=====Prerequisites=====
+The following configuration is for using eduroam without graphical user interfaces. [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Network802.1xAuthentication|wpa_supplicant]] will use a configuration file and the WLAN device will be configured through /etc/network/interfaces (optional).
+This has been tested with Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS, command-line installation. With other distributions paths and using the package manager / package installation may vary.
+In order to use WLAN with WPA on the command line at least the packages [[http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/wireless-tools|wireless-tools]] and wpa_supplicant must be installed.
+To be able to connect to the internet after connecting to eduroam you need an active DHCP client.  Please see the documentation of your distribution on how to install and configure a DHCP client.
+=====Configuration=====
+Add the following //network// block to your wpa_supplcant.conf.
+  network={
+   ssid="eduroam"
+   key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
+   eap=PEAP
+   ca_cert=
+   identity=
+   altsubject_match="DNS:eduroam.gwdg.de"
+   phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
+   password=
+   anonymous_identity="eduroam@gwdg.de"
+  }
+You have to enter the following parameters manually:
+  * ca_cert: the  T-Telesec Global Root certificate (For Debian and Ubuntu the Path is "/etc/ssl/certs/T-TeleSec_GlobalRoot_Class_2.pem")
+  * identity: your username as it can be found [[start#username|here]]
+  * password: the corresponding password.
+in order to test the wpa_supplicant it can be launched manually as root by
+    wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d
+"wlan0" is the name of the WLAN device;
+If no user name and password is supplied in the wpa_supplicant.conf file, "wpa_cli" must be launched as root on a second terminal to control wpa_supplicant.
+Enter the following lines to connect to eduroam:
+    identity 0 <user@gwdg.de>
+    password 0 <secretpassword>
