Connect Android Phone to LEAP WiFi
Android phone can connect to WiFi wireless network, but it only supports simple authentication, such as WEP key, if WiFi has security settings. There is no support for LEAP in current Android. At least no support in GUI configuration wizard. Lots of users have been requesting this feature (1386, 1871) in Android's Google Code site. But wait a minute, does Android really not support LEAP? Take a look at WifiConfiguration.AuthAlgorithm in apidocs, there is a constant for LEAP. Yes, Android supports LEAP, but there is not option on GUI configuration.
Enter into CLI mode thru Terminal or ConnectBot, change to root user, and edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file.
# cd /data/misc/wifi
# vi wpa_supplicant.conf
The following is the content of my copy. Successfully connected to my company wireless network.
network={
ssid="your_ssid"
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED LEAP
eap=LEAP
identity="your_username"
password="your_password"
}
Have fun.
works like a charm ! thanks.
Thanks a lot !!! this worked for me as well. I can connect now to the corporate network.
I was not able to edit the file as suggested from shell vi so I ended up using pull and push.
Thanks again for the tip…
