Hello all,
I'm trying to connect at work to a WiFi controlled by a Windows WPA2-Enterprise setup.
WPA2 Enterprise is common umbrella for quite different authentication protocols which are using very different authentication parameters. Do you know which one is used?
What I could get from the Windows 10 setup is: <network name> 802.11n WPA2-Enterprise PEAP primary DNS: <name> When NetworkManager tries to connect, it seems it fails getting some "secret" which I understand should be received after some handshaking between my machine and the network (I can't get the exact message now as I am home).

Wicd does work, but it asks for the root password and regularely fails on start. Mor googling told me I should start wicd on boot, but all the instructions are outdated and don't works (chkconfig on 12.3 but does not seem to be there anymore,
Of course it is there. Even in Tumbleweed, not to mention 13.2.
You are right. Actually, I had instructions to "chkconfig network on", which fails with "no such file or directory" and I assumed that was chkconfig, seems it's rather "network" that is no more there. But then the instructions on https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Wicd are for 11.1 or 12.1 so...
But looking at spec file, wicd provides systemd unit definition so "systemctl enable wicd; systemctl start wicd" should probably suffice.
"Systemctl enable wicd" works "systemctl start wicd" did not, but after a reboot it did. I now no more need to give the root password, wicd starts and I can connect to my wired network. However I could no more connect to my WiFi, wicd kept saying the password is bad (which is not the case)... until I figured that to get wicd really working you must actually totaly disable networking in Yast (wicked had a DHCP setting for wireless that was overriding wicd's settings
Whatever works for you ... but if you say what you tried to autostart wicd someone may be able to help. "nothing works" is pretty bad starting point.
I tried some commands starting with systemctl, but I obviously did not have the right syntax. Now that I have wicd working, I see "PEAP with TKIP/MSCHAPV2" thaht looks promising, I'll give it a try next time I'm at work.
