XDA WiFi Access through Radius Server Authentication??? - Networking

We have a corporate WiFi network and our access is protected via Radius server authentication and WPA encryption.
I have done all the necessary steps to import the personal certificate and added the profile on our XDA Mini S model.
Looking at the logs of the Radius server, everything is connecting and authenticating fine. However, the XDA fails to get any IP from our DHCP server. Not sure where the problem lays?
I have tried an access point on the same LAN with all security disabled and open and the XDA gets an IP with no problem.
Please help - this is very frustrating and I want to know if anybody has got their XDA working through a radius server?

Im having a similiar problem, Only mines is with a MDA compact II, I can find all access points no probs, But it seems as if my handset is trying to connect via GPRS instead of the wifi and that is without a sim card present :|

Nah, the issue is different for me. I can connect to an access point that does not use radius authentication fine, and get an IP and use the internet etc.
With radius authentication I am unable to get an IP.

I have been trying to get this working too and talked to XDA about it, however they said that the Atom does not support WPA-EAP
I used to be able to connect to a WPA-PSK network OK but since my ROM upgrade it doesn't work anymore.. Grr.

We are not using WPA-EAP. We are using PEAP authentication, with trusted certificate and WPA TKIP Encryption.
I have not spoken to O2/XDA about this yet. As I have said, authentication works fine, the IAS Radius logs confirm that connection is permitted - its an IP that fails to get associated with the device! Even Static IP seems to connect, but you cannot reach anything on the network.
I wonder how tech-savy the XDA support will be when I do actually ring them?
What is frustrating is the fact that the device explicitly supports this kind of connection (why does it exist in the Wifi settings otherwise) but with all correct settings it just fails on the IP and traffic flow (with static IP)...??
No Bios upgrades done yet? The device is Windows Mobile and all this kind of thing is surely software/OS driven - cannot understand how a bios/rom upgrade would make it work?

PEAP is an EAP method - I've been reading up on it

I'm not very impressed with their technical support so far, it's took them a while to _understand_ the problem, let alone try and fix it.

I tried to connect to a WRT54G running OpenWRT I could see that it would associate fine but would not become authorized - it will appear to 5 seconds and then drop out and try again.
I wonder if there is some timeout that needs to be increase, however I can't find any options in the AP to adjust

Me either, and it doesn't seem like a particularly uncommon scenario...
(Unless they think workplaces should use WPA-PSK )

XDAIIi wi-fi problem

Hi all. I looked at several wi-fi posts on here, but couldn't find anything related to my problem.
I'm beginning to suspect that it's because of something stupid I'm doing, cos it really should be working...
Anyhoo ...I have a wireless router at home, and it's serving 3 PCs with DHCP IP addresses, and an internet connection. I have no issues with it.
What I'm trying to do now is get my shiny new XDAIIi to connect, so that I can have the damn thing on the internet. So far, no luck.
Now, I have got the XDA to detect my SSID. It detects all the settings, and tells me it's connected. I even have a signal strength bar on it which reads about 50%.
However, when I set it to pick up a DHCP address it stubbornly refuses, remaining with a "I can't see a DHCP server" 169.x.x.x address.
I've tried reserving an address on the router and allocating it to the MAC address of the XDA, and manually setting the XDA to have that IP address, entering my router as the gateway, and even entering 2 valid DNS server IPs from my ISP into the name server entries. Still nothing. It says it's connected with the IP address I allocated, but I have no net connection, and I can't ping that address from any of my PCs.
All the while the status screen on the router tells me that the device, with it's MAC address, is connected to the router fine.
Surely this has to be something simple. I have set up all the clients and router for my network, and the settings on the XDA are pertty much the same, and really SHOULD be working.
I'm kinda at my wits end.
So basically any suggestions or advice, or anyone with similar experiences please get in touch, cos I'm struggling to see what I've done wrong, and it's giving me an ulcer.
Many thanks in advance.

3COM WAP (3CRWE454G72) - XDA IIi WIFI Problems
Hi Jess,
I very much share your frustration.
I have a 3COM WAP (3CRWE454G72) which has served me well. I have a few machines at home working from it. At work we have 20+ machines working from the same model (older firmware).
My specs are as follow:
3C number 3CRWE454G72
Software version 1.03.07A
Boot loader version 1.00.00
Wireless version V1.0.2.1
Hardware version R01A
Don't have the office one's specs here at the moment ...
At work I can get an IP address (there's a windows DHCP server) .. AND I can ping google and traceroute to google. BUT, XDA IIi doesn't seem "know" that it's connected (e.g. network settings shows the WAP as available, but not connected). SKYPE even works!! But nothing else, no IE, no Terminal Services Client, no Avant Go, no network ActiveSync. They all say that the is no network card configured (but with vxUTIL, vxIPCONFIG, etc). I can see ALL the IP details from the DHCP server.
At home it's worse. I can't even get it to connect to the WAP (either with WEP 128, WEP 64 or encryption turned off). As I'm not even getting an IP address at home from the WAP's DHCP server, I've built a new DHCP server on my one linux box and it works for all my machines ... now I can actually trace requests from devices for IP's ... and the XDA IIi never requests an IP address. Which tells me that it's not even getting through the first stages of connecting with the WAP (again tried WEP, NO WEP).
To make things worse. I have been able to connect to some open WAP's in the neighbourhood ... everything functioning normal.
I'm losing the will to live here also ... ;-)
Wolfie
the plot thickens...
Hi Wolfie.
Well, at this end I seem to have more news.
By removing all WEP encryption and removing the MAC address access restriction I had enabled, I got the XDAIIi online, and all was working.
I then enabled the security a step at a time, and at each step updated the configuration on the handheld, and it still all worked. I was so pleased.
)
However this morning I have come to put the thing online again, and once again it refuses to pick up a DHCP address.
I tried my process again, and this time it wont work.
It definitely seems that it's the encryption that's stopping it, but I can't get it working this morning.
When I disabled everything I managed to get it online, but then re-enabling the security killed it and I can't get it to come online again.
SIGH
Oh well, I will try again later. Fussy thing. Anyone ever manage to solve this ??
Jess
have u tried soft reseting the device and retrying, sometimes that cures these hiccups

WIFI WOES
Jess, thanks for the reply. There's hope. ;-)
I have tried your approach yesterday. However, to no avail. At home I completely opened my WAP, e.g. any MAC, no WEP/WPA, etc. But still nothing. When I look at my log files on the WAP. I can see plenty of entries coming from my XDA IIi ...
04 min(s) 41 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:09:2D:14:C9:F2 has connected with the device
04 min(s) 43 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:09:2D:14:C9:F2 has connected with the device
04 min(s) 45 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:09:2D:14:C9:F2 has connected with the device
04 min(s) 46 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:09:2D:14:C9:F2 has connected with the device
04 min(s) 48 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:09:2D:14:C9:F2 has connected with the device
04 min(s) 50 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:09:2D:14:C9:F2 has connected with the device
... and it just goes on and on and on .... while trying to connect.
At the same time in all connections attemps, I don't get a single entry in my DHCP servers log saying that my XDA II attempted to connect.
Jim: I've tried hard resets, soft resets, O2 Active installed, Corporate mode, pretty much everything my single brain-cell can come up with. ;-)
The thing is definitely a little fiddly indeed ...
The search goes on ...
... anybody out there got their XDA IIi working with WIFI using DHCP and WEP or WPA?
Did you ever get this working?
I have a shiny new XDAIIi and have been trying to get connected via my Cisco Aironet 1200 WAP. The device happily detects my network, accepts the WEP key fine (complains if I enter the wrong key so I know it's communicating) but refuses to pick up an IP address. The Wireless LAN Manager just sits there "Scanning network..."
I firmly belive I'm just missing something but...........
Any help gratefully received :?

I got my QTek 2020i today and for the life of me I can't get it to connect to the internet using my wifi connection @ home
I also have a 3COM router 3CRWE754G72-A and I have my home pc connected to this and also occassionally my work PC - both with no probs.
I can get the qtek to connect and I get a 50% signal strength and I can view an IP address and everything looks good but I can't seem to setup a "Connection" as required by IE?
This is what I get:
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settins"
I tap settings and I get this:
My ISP
Add a new modem connection
My ISP
Add a new modem connection
Add a new VPN server connection
Set up my proxy server
I've gone into each of these and had a "play" but I still can't get the bloody thing to work :evil:
Can someone PLEASE help as this is starting to drive me mad! - I'm not giving up easily...I've been trying to get this to work for a good 4 hours now and I can't find anything in the manual or on the web that helps...this post was the closest I could fine >>> hence the bump!

have you try to configure the network cards in the connection setting and set the internet using the tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet?

Okay, I can get the connection to read "connected" via the Wireless Lan Manager and I can get an IP address - which is totally different to all the other PC's that use my wifi connection - they're all 192.168.1.x whereas this is very different? - the address that I get isn't even the same as the IP Address of my router - I have a static IP address so I know this isn't changing???
Also, when I view the network card page I see the following:
Configure Wireless Networks
Add New...
3Com Available
I can click on this and view the settings for it or I can hold-click and get the option of connecting. If I do this, it just says "connecting"; it never actually says "connected"?
Anyone know where I can get a walkthrough for this?

3 Com Routers
Hi, DotN
I put a 3Com router in my local pub.
I have no problem connecting to it and solving the usual pub talk problems with it.
If you are getting a connection but your IP address starts with 169.254 then I would say you have a WEP problem. The software only appears to check for incorrectly formatted WEP keys, so either turn it off or make sure you enter the correct key. When selecting connect to a router the message sticks on connecting, come out of the screen and go back in after about 30 secs. Check you ip address. I have had some issues with GRPS trying to connect, but they seem to go away after a couple of hides.
I have to say that I am not over the moon with my XDA2i, but the wifi part has worked pretty well for me.

Hi Paddy
Thanks for the info. You're bang on with the IP Address!...169.254.x.x
So what encryption can I use?
I've deffinately got the correct password but it's obviously not working
Cheers
Wayne
Hi again
Okay, I've just checked the encryption and I'm using WPA-PSK authentication with TKIP encryption.
Is this what you had?

Okay, I've basically removed all security from my wifi setup. I live in the middle of nowhere so it's not a problem - although once I get the wifi working I'll try and get the security going again.
I still can't get a connection
...stop the press!
Okay, I had a thought...maybe I can't connect because of the speed?
the router is a 11g but supports 11b (which is what the QTek 2020i/XDA IIuses) - sure enough, I had the 11g only option selected - DOH!
removed that and I've managed to connect without security.
I assume this was my problem all along...will now stick the security back on and try again
Thanks again Paddy
Cheers
Wayne
Update: I've now managed to get the wifi working with WPA-SPK authentication using TKIP encryption
all along it was simply a case of me having the speed on the router set above what the PDA was capable of! I'd set this ages ago when I first setup my wlan and had forgotten about it cause everything I use is 11g

Ouch......
No hard feeling, glad you found the problem

bump!
pretty much same prob!
i can get an ip, have to check what it is, it tells me its connected on the scanning network page but on the other bit it tells me its available or connecting but never connects!
i've turned wep off and still no joy!
its really starting to drive me mad!
please please someone help
Take a read back through the last lot of posts between myself and MacPad - I think you'll find the answer there.
For me, I had to totally disable my security and everything else - I could then connect. Once I'd done that, I managed to use WEP with a 26 digit key - start by using something like "0" 26 times...make sure u count as u type them zero's in though as if u get it wrong it won't work!
apart from that, not sure what to say. If you're getting the 164.x.x.x ip address though then as MacPad said, it's to do with the security.
I would mention that the XDAIIi/Qtek 2020ii use 11mbps wifi (b) and not 54mbps (g) so make sure u've got ya router configured to allow both types of connection...this eventually turned out to be my main problem - doh!
Cheers
Wayne
ok now im home ive re-read and done the things mentioned. with a completely unsecure connection i can get a connecation, but the moment i use any kind of encryption (im using wep 64bit, but tried 128bit as well) no matter what key i use i get a split second of connection then its gone!
firewall is not on either.
any ideas??
thank for the suggestions guys im finally progressing

VPN won't work with a 10.x.x.x network

Hi,
I have a little problem that I am sure there must be an easy solution to!
I have set up a VPN on my Universal to connect to work. The problem is that my work's VPN server allocates me an ip address in the 10.x.x.x address range. All servers that I need to access behind the VPN have addresses in this range as well. Unfortunately, my ISP (T-Mobile UK), also allocates an address in the same range. Therefore, whenever I try to acccess a server at work, WM5 suffers confusion since it doesn't know whether to route the message through the VPN or directly out to the internet through the cellular modem.
I have been able to verify that the VPN thing works if my work network was on a different network address since initially, I was unable to VPN into my PC at home for the reason described above. I changed the ip addresses of all machines on my home network and now everything works fine at home.
Unfortuantely, I am unlikely to convince the IT people at work to change the address of all their machines. Similarly, I don't think I will have much success with T-Mobile and so is there anything I can change at my end to avoid this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mark
Narrowing the ip address may help, eg 10.0.0.1 is different to 10.1.0.1.
are you using this over wifi or gprs? if the phone provider is involved, I assume its gprs.
you could try and esablish your ip address as fixed rather than part of the pool, so the it guys assign a range for remote connections as say 10.0.0.100 to 10.0.0.150 as remote dial in connections, thus giving you a separate number.
the best way though I would have thought is for you to a fixed ip address known to you and the servers, and then hard type the ip address as your vpn settings, then establish that ip address as part of the exceptions settings.
in order to use exceptions though you have to know the range, or the exact ip address you will be assigned, and must be different to your telco.
not much of a solution, just some suggested areas to look at.
cheers

hi guys, just out of curiosity what software are you using for VPN? on my laptop my company has installed cisco vpn, does it need to be a cisco vpn for wm5?? :?
From bad to worse...
Thanks for the reply Simon.
Unfortunately, I just went to try out some of your ideas and discovered that I can't get the VPN to connect at all now. It used to connect OK but then have routing problems whenever I tried to access anything. And my home VPN worked perfectly. Now, I can connect to neither.
I simply switched over to an O2 sim and with minimal configuration changes could verify that my setup still works OK and so it must be something to do with T-Mobile blocking ports. They weren't blocked yesterday!!!
Yesterday I "upgraded" my GPRS account from T-Mobile's Web'N'Walk to Web'N'Walk Professional and now I find I have this problem. Is this just a coincidence, or could it be that the Pro version has more severe restrictions than the consumer version?
I have emailed Customer Services to see what they have to say.
I will post back when I get a reply from T-Mobile.
mstar, I am no VPN expert, but for me, using a Windows XP hosted PPTP VPN it works after a fashion (above problems excepted!). I am using the VPN client built into Windows Mobile 5. I think you stand a good chance of getting it working using the built-in client.

I've heard on the grapevine that T-mobile have explicitly refused certain types of traffic on the web-n-walk
VOIP is the biggy...
I was seriously thinking about getting signed up - but no point if IPSEC is a prob, as well as VOIP.
Not sure how they can tell it's Skype traffic :?

An Update
An update on my VPN problem. Yesterday after total failure to get the VPN to connect, I emailed T-Mobile customer services.
Although they have not replied, when I tried it this afternoon I found that it was working again as before even though it had not been working first thing this morining. Of course I have not changed anythng at my end to cause it to break and then start working again (but they all say that, don't they!).
So, I don't know whether this was just a momentary fault, or whether T-Mobile have changed something to re-enable the VPN ports for me. I can now VPN in to my home PC, but the problem connecting to my work VPN with the 10.x.x.x address remains.
So, Sikkutz, depending on the address of the remote network, you may or may not be able to get a VPN to work using T-Mobile's Web'N'Walk.
By the way, my VPNs both use Microsoft's PPTP and not IPSec and so there may be different issues with that protocol.
I have discovered that O2 provides a separate acccess point, vpn.o2.co.uk, that causes a public ip address to be allocated to the device, ie not on the 10.x.x.x network. It would seem that this is designed to address this very problem. Does anyone know if T-Mobile can provide something similar?

There must be a solution
Hi!
I have the same problem with my Qtek 9000 (VPA IV). I can connect to my VPN Gateway but the routing into LAN failed. I get a 10.x.x.x address from Vodafone Germany and my LAN uses 10.98.8.X. :-(
But there must be a solution! My previous Qtek 9010 (VPA III) had the same problem, but it was able to route between the 10.-networks after a firmware-upgrade to version 1.40.01! But I don't no why!
What was changed in firmware to enable routing???
Daniel
i have the same issue aswell, I am reluctant to change the IP range of my machines as that usually causes trouble for the servers
Any other ideas?
Thanks
maybe stupid thing, but did you guys try dna forwarding (that is what I use from home office, not on pda to be honest..
Maybe I just did not get your point....
What kind of VPN server do you use? I'am using a Cisco PIX and use a PPTP VPN almost everyday. I can use the 10.1.x.x network at the location the PIX is located (this PIX is directly connected to the 10.1.x.x network).
I can't however use any of the remote offices using 10.2/10.3.x.x etc.
This is becaus of the lack of routing abilities in the PPTP implementation.
With an IPSEC tunnel (additional software needed) the remote offices can be reached without any problems.
I know that some IP implementation disallow routing between a public address and any 10.x address. To solve this you could give your VPN clients an address from a 10.x subnet .
hi sorry been away awhile,
I use the routing and remote admin snapin of Windows server 2003 to manage my VPN, I can connect fine using the phone as a modem with my notebook but as soon as I try accessing any URL/resource on my network it fails, e.g. we have a intranet site on http://servername but it wont open this up.
Any Ideas?

Wifi Problems

Hi All,
I am pulling my hair out over this problem, so I hope someone can help!!!
I have 2 HTC devices, a Touch HD & Diamond 2, I want them to connect to my Wifi at home. I'm using a Netgear WNR2000 router, my problem is that i can connect to the router fine, signal strength is good etc however when I launch Opera it wont display any internet pages & i just get page could not be displayed error.
I have looked in my settings & these are all set up right i think... I have tried connecting the Diamond 2 to a BT Business hub, this work's fine & connect's straight away being able to browse the internet.
I have found a work around for my problem however, this involves inputting my ISP DNS details onto the network card on both phones this will make them connect & i will be able to browse the internet. However i do not want to do this, as i also have a Blackberry 8900 & this connect's just find without any settings.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this issue?? is it the router config or just these phones?? Im using TKIP-PSK also for my algorithm.
Thanks
Dan
You must set your router to assign IP adresses and the DNS servers automatically. In your routers configuration menu usually (192.168.1.1) may vary on different manufactures, there you should be able to set the DNS servers, and then assign them over DHCP, so your router acts as DNS sever but at the same time it contacts your ISP's DNS aswell.
I have a problem similar in yours in nature, so wanted to join this thread
A few days ago, I managed to unlock my Raphael. It was Japanese (HT-01A) so as a result the Radio needed downgrading in order to be able to unlock.
My problem now, which I cannot say for sure is due to the unlocking, is that my WIFI is misbehaving in a way never seen before. Before the Olipro unlock procedure, I had my WIFI connection fine (with WEP algorythm), with all apps needing internet functioning perfectly.
Now, I can connect to the net by GPRS, but not by WIFI. I cannot understand why this might be...Without WEP I can WIFI still, but WEP or any other encryption allows no data transfer.
ANY clues?
Just as curiosity, I see other people on the forum with later versions of OliNex Radio.
Mine is v1.10 yet I see v1.90.
is there an advantage if I change it?
Thanks!

What jasonches is saying is correct. You can set your router to your favorite DNS servers. If I'm not mistaken there should also be a setting to obtain DNS servers automatically.

I've seen a situation similar to this happen on a Netgear router which further strengthens my dislike for netgear products. Back up your settings on the router. Try flashing your router with the newest firmware from the manufacturer's website. Then, test connectivity using no encryption and then testing with encryption using short, easy to remember keys. Is there a reason you're not using WPA2? With WPA2 you can assign a short key to confirm that everything works and then switch to a more complicated key for better protection. WPA2 is also a stronger encryption algorithm than WEP.
I don't think unlocking has anything to do with WIFI connection. However, changing the radio or having an older one might interfere with connections. Upgrading to the newest radio is beneficial because it "should" drain the battery less, increase call quality and increase connectivity speeds. You should do serious research before upgrading your radio.

Cant' access youtube, android market, and other google services...

on WiFi...
This happens on my Thunderbolt, Transformer, and on my wife's iPhone. Stock roms and custom roms, it doesn't matter. Once I put the device back on the cellular network (I tether the Transformer)the services are able to connect. This issue occurs in the official Google apps as well as the web browser.
My home network is powered by a D-Link DIR 825, DNS points to the router @192.168.0.1
The router is able to resolve youtube.com and other google services.
Windows PC's are able to access affected services.
For some reason when I'm on my Android devices they don't play well on my WiFi network. I had the same issue occur with my MBP 2011 model. My solution was to force google dns server.
Unfortunately my D-Link doesn't give me the option to manually configure the DNS server being sent through DHCP. So I can't force just the DNS server on the Android / iOS devices. Any idea's or thoughts on what's going on?
Again, I can ping youtube.com from the router and below is more info on my ISP.

Again, once devices are moved to the mobile network I have no issues. WiFi at my work works just fine during the day for my Android devices. I have cleared data / cache for the browser and youtube apps in Android.
Any thought's or suggestions?
You say the devices work fine at work, di you have to set a static IP address for them at work?
If yes, then have you made sure to switch back to DHCP when you are at work? (assuming your home network runs DHCP?)

No, I dont run static IP's at work.
I'm the network administrator and manage the wireless network at work so thankfully I have control over the design and layout of our wireless networks.
The network consists of Cisco serise WLC 5500 with Cisco 1141 AP's. The wireless network is a WPA2 Enterprise network.
DNS is handled by our AD server.
I almost questioned my home ISP DNS but if the router can resolve the IP then it should be able to resolve for any host requesting that information. I'm wondering if these Unix like devices (Android, iOS, OS X) are trying to resolve or handle the resolution process differently.
Again, Windows resolves the domain just fine. I may check configurations files to see the order of name resolution.

To clarify.
Router IP on my end 192.168.100.64
ISP DSL modem is 192.168.100.1(primary dns)
ISP dns is 137.118.1.33(secondary dns for router)

I ran a packet capture from the tablet and every time it tries to resolve the name the tablet receives a Reset response.
54 Domain [RST, ACK]
I'm even more pissed...aparently I can resolve the name if I do a ping youtube.com in the terminal emulator. I can't access the app or website however...but it works on PC's.
I'm wondering if it's outdated firmware on my router. Unfortunately this piece of $hi7 D-Link refuses to accept the upgraded firmware.
Performed a factory reset on the router.
Setup a quick and dirty wireless network and still couldn't access google services from it.
I attempted to upgrade the firmware again with the system freshly reset and it was still a no go. I'm thinking of ditching this POS router.
This may be a long shot but can you try setting your router ip as 192 168 0 1, then your phone as 192 168 0 2. Mine had troubles on higher ip ranges

I did a packet capture from the phone and tablet and this is what I see.
Packet 15 - DNS query for youtube.com
Packet 16 - DNS response with the IP address
Packet 17 - A TCP Packet is sent to the router on port 53
Packet 18 - A TCP Packet is received with the [RST, ACK] flag set.
Then I see this pattern as I was hitting refresh over and over. The connection is getting reset for some reason.
Reading D-Link forums it appears that some people have issues with this router "blocking" some websites. I think it's simply an issue of $hi77y firmware and unfortunately I can't upgrade it. I've verified my downloads, followed the directions to the T, but it will not accept the firmware.
Well I upgraded to a Linksys E2000 with DD-WRT firmware and everything works fine

WiFi No Connectivity with 802.1x MSCHAPv2

I just received my Nexus 6p last night. It connected and ran just fine on my home network. I get to school this morning and I can not connect to the school wifi which uses 802.1x MSCHAPv2 authentication. My Computer and my friend's Note 4 next to me can connect with out issue. Anyone else have this issue? Possible solutions?
*UPDATE*
I just tried to connect to our guest Wifi with the same problem. Instead of using MSCHAPv2 Auth, the guest WiFi uses a captive portal. I still can not obtain an IP address from either. It looks like it might be an incompatibility with the access point itself? This is really weird as 1 / 2 of the networks I have tried to connect to succeeded and one was a Asus router (my home). The access points I am having trouble with are Aerohive from what I read on them. I do not know what the controller specs are.
i'm having issues connecting to a regular enterprise PEAP network, it just sits there saying "Connecting...", whereas our public portal it pulls up fine. still can't figure out why.

Yep, my company network uses PEAP + MSCHAPv2 and I couldn't connect with my 6P. I forwarded that thread to our IT department and a couple days later it magically started working correctly.
OK, I have discovered a work around. Sadly I don't have a responsive IT department at my school. What I have found is to use the DCHP client from lollipop. Enable developer options, enable "Use legacy DHCP client", reboot. This is just a work around and I hope someone finds a solution to this, either on the android side or on the server side. I know my campus uses windows server 2008 for their radius and auth server so the freeradius TLS 1.2 issue isn't totally relevant. Maybe someone could enlighten me how TLS 1.2 is handled in Windows Server.
