CanI use it to connect to a PEAP/MSCHAP network?

[jemimah]

Yes, probably (assuming wpa_supplicant supports it) , this is one of the areas where wpa_gui is going to work better than Pwireless2. If you need any help getting wpa_supplicant started, just let me know. Some of the more complicated network setups are probably going to require modifying the config file by hand.

No static IP option...

[jemimah]

Wpa_gui actually doesn't know anything about DHCP at all. My startup script starts the dhcpcd daemon, which should automatically detect when you've got a connection and grab an IP. But if you want options, like static ip, you'll still need to configure that by hand, unfortunately.

Hi,
I have successfully got WPA with PEAP and MSCHAPv2 to work on Puppy Linux. (Look at the beginning of this thread for help on installing WPA_GUI)

I think the name of the file you need to edit is "wpa_supplicant.conf". It's been a while since I set it up.

Here is the setup I used: (The following is all I had in the file.)
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1

network={
ssid="YOUR WIRELESS SSID"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP
eap=PEAP
identity="DOMAIN\username"
password="password"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
