Is that such a major undertaking? I never tried to connect Linux
wirelessly, but just the other day it took me all of 5 minutes to set
up my router and phone to talk to each other via a WPA connection (3
of which went into trying in vain to configure what the router calls
WPA2 - so I went with WPA1). And I don't even know what all those
acronyms stand for :)

The AP I have wants an external radius server if I configure WPA. I
have freeradius installed on my server so I just need to figure out how
to configure it so my AP can use it. Once that's done, I then need to
see if my laptop can connect to the AP using WPA. I don't have a good
way of testing whether freeradius is configured correctly independently
from having the laptop use it with WPA. Likewise, I have no way of
knowing whether WPA on the laptop is configured correctly other than
having it connect using my freeradius server. I'm expecting I'll have
to spend some time debugging this setup.
If I only needed to change one thing, I wouldn't be as concerned.
Changing two dependent things at the same time is usually a recipe for
trouble. Be glad you didn't face a similar problem.
Cheers,
Dave
