Getting the University of Alberta's UWS to work on a Nexus One

Pretty simple really:

1. Turn on Wi-Fi
2. Get in to the settings for the UWS network
3. "EAP method" = PEAP
4. "Phase 2 authentication" = None
5. "CA certificate" = (unspecified)
6. "User certificate" = (unspecified)
7. "Identity" = CCID
8. "Anonymous identity" = blank
9. "Password" = CCID password

Click "Save" and you are all done.

This was performed on a Nexus One running android 2.2

I am on android v2.1 and it does not allow me to select none or the secondary authentication...

Any ideas?

I had trouble with the Cyanogen mod for the Nexus One when connecting to ualberta UWS. I had to play around with the settings, and what I think works is:

Input the information as shown above (should be default) but when you put in your CCID and password, make sure that BEFORE you put in your password check the 'show password' button. It might just be a quirk with Cyanogen 6.0.

I don't know if this will resolve issues with Android 2.1, but you should be able to update to Android 2.2 for free without having to mod the phone in any way, just google it.

Hope that helps
