How do you add a certificate for WLAN in Linux, at the command-line?

Question

I'm using Maemo on a Nokia n810 Internet tablet, and when given a list of installed certificates to choose from when connecting to a PEAP wireless network, it's always blank. I've already installed a couple of certificates through the gui on the device, and only the certificate authorities show up.

I've confirmed that Maemo's connection software that handles certificates is buggy, in such a way that certificates are never added, or properly added certificates cannot be found.

Is there a way to add WLAN certificates at the command-line, and connect to a wireless network at the command-line as well?

I used to use iwconfig to connect, but I never used it with PEAP.

Note: I have nothing in /etc/ssl/certs

Answer 1

I'm not 100% sure if this will help (I've never needed to connect to any PEAP wireless networks), but the following thread on tmo seems to be related and some people there report success with connecting to them.

The posts by Rtalian and dzahariev seem to be the most useful, depending on your set up.

Good luck!

Answer 2

You might look at the documentation for http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa%5Fsupplicant/. iwconfig will take care of the initial association, but you'll need an EAP supplicant to authenticate, and I would not be surprised if Maemo uses wpa_supplicant.
