Has anybody had any luck trying to connect a linux box to eduPaSS 
wireless networks. Here's what I have done which hasn't worked!

I'm running Ubuntu (Dapper, up to date) on my Thinkpad R52. One of our 
techs created certificates for me and I downloaded them and converted 
them to .pem files after much googling.

I have installed the network manager applet. Created a new wireless 
network - WPA enterprise, TLS-EAP, and pointed it to the the certificate 
and key PEM files. Various icons whirr and flash but phooey, no connection!

My wireless card is set up - I can access public wireless networks (cf 
"Moodle in the pub")
