Wpa2Enterprise Support
« on: February 20, 2014, 01:23:31 pm »
Hi Everyone

Just 2 really quick questions
is WPA2 Enterprise supported, if so how ?

And do I need to disconnect the jumper for the WIFI to work or should it stay as it is when the board arrives.

Sorry for the question, search yielded nothing on WPA2Enterprise

in the wiki you will find this link:
http://digistump.com/wiki/_media/digix/tutorials/usr-wifi232-g_en.pdf

As long, as your enterprise secured network, allows you, to log in with username/password, WPA2 settings will be fine.

When running Wifi on the DigiX as access-point, WPA2 Enterprise makes no sense, as you have no second network interface, where you can connect to the trusted network and the radius server.
I doubt, that the tiny device (http://digistump.com/board/index.php/topic,1162.msg4997.html#msg4997) is capable running additional services.

Maybe I am being a bit daft here, there is no username field on the WebClient at 10.10.100.24 ?

Any help ?

You are right!  Looks like, that I have played to much with my openwrt solutions. As soon, as I realized, that I will have no chance to install additional apps on the on-board wifi, I went back to my openwrt solutions.

You can look at the manual/datasheet here as well http://digistump.com/wiki/_media/digix/tutorials/usr-wifi232-g_en.pdf

But it seems to not support any auth that uses more than a password or key. I'll keep this in mind for future wifi modules, I've never run into Wpa2Enterprise before.

@digistump:  WPA2 enterprise is really neat:  The biggest advantage is, that the encryption key is never stored on a device. Therefore after a device gets stolen/compromised its enough, to change just that users password.  Its also nice for family routers, so for example my kids get only VLANs assigned, which need to go through the kids-protection-proxy. 
It's a security nightmare to change PSKs in the usual Home-WLANs, once one device gets compromised. Wireless DigiX applications (and other arduino style stuff) are increasing the risk, as you share code (which is perhaps not wiped), and you exchange devices with other people (which still have credentials preloaded).

That is pretty neat - I live so far from anyone that I don't even need to secure my network - so I guess I don't think too much about it. But I like the VLAN idea for kids - I've got some time luckily - our daughter is 7 months old, so we aren't letting her surf the net yet
