I am starting this thread because i found that after all this long time of waiting an improvement from Android guys from Google regarding a complete UI for connecting to the miscellaneous WiFi configurations nothing comes out.
I consider my thread android development related, but if the mods want to move it please do it.
I am not a developer but I'm a user which wants all the cake not just a bite.
I am referring to special type of WiFi connections which wpa_supplicant is capable like:
"
EAP-TLS
EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-PEAP/TLS (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-PEAP/GTC (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-PEAP/OTP (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP
EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
EAP-TTLS/PAP
EAP-TTLS/CHAP
EAP-SIM
EAP-AKA
EAP-AKA'
EAP-PSK
EAP-FAST
EAP-PAX
EAP-SAKE
EAP-IKEv2
EAP-GPSK
LEAP (note: requires special support from the driver)"
This is copied from here http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/
Seems that we have the gun and the bullets but we don't have the trigger.
This idea come to me when i was struggling connecting to my work WiFi and never succeeded, phones like Symbian or Windows based laughed into my phone's face (and i think that is not correct, considering it frustrating).
My proposal to all the devs from XDA is to build a new app and wpa_supplicant with all drivers and stuff which will be able to help us connecting very easy to all kind of WiFi methods.
PS: My work network configuration for windows is like this:
SSID, CKIP LEAP, username, domain, password.
Hidden WiFi: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1041
LEAP WiFi: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1871 ; http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1386
Ad-Hoc WiFi: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82
Devices that are capable to connect on my work WiFi network:
Symbian V3 (Nokia N8)
Windows Mobile 6.5 (HTC Diamond)
Devices that are not capable to connect on my work WiFi network:
Android (HTC Desire HD and Samsung Galaxy S I)
iOS 4 (iPhone 3Gs)
iOS 5 (iPod)
Blackbery (Curve 8900)
============================================================
Update: 29/11/2011
After a 2-3 weeks of Google-ing I think that i found the gap with LEAP:
How you can see above LEAP - requires special support from the driver and i found a Linux driver which says like this:
2086 // CCX 1 spec v1.13, A01.1 CKIP Negotiation (page23):
2087 // "A Cisco access point advertises support for CKIP in beacon and probe response packets,
2088 // by adding an Aironet element and setting one or both of the CKIP negotiation bits."
2089 if( (info_element->data[IE_CISCO_FLAG_POSITION]&SUPPORT_CKIP_MIC) ||
2090 (info_element->data[IE_CISCO_FLAG_POSITION]&SUPPORT_CKIP_PK) )
Source:http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/staging/rtl8192e/ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c
My work WiFi require CKIP Encryption so this is root cause for me to not be able to connect to LEAP.
Currently broadcom support: 802.1x; WEP, WEP2, WPA, WPA2 (Personal) TKIP and AES hardware acceleration 802.11i. When "broadcom" will release compatible drivers, we will be able to connect. Until then, all users that are in my situation will better get an alternative.
http://pdf.eccn.com/pdfs/Datasheets/Broadcom/BCM4329.pdf
http://os1a.cs.columbia.edu/lxr/source/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/wl_iw.c
So next remaining thing will be a "Complete UI" release for android which offers all type of connections.
================================================================================================
Update: 07/12/2011
In my craziness to find a solution to my problem regarding connection to work corporate WiFi, I found the missing link (in my opinion) between android and Linux capability to access CKIP encrypted networks: http://o2droid.phj.hu/trac/browser/kern_oII/drivers/staging/rt2860/sta/assoc.c . It is about a special characteristic that allow connections to Aironet access points with CCX (CISCO Compatible Extensions).

I need a port from Dell Streak to HTC DHD
I searched Google again and i found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...62&postcount=1 here is a file listed "system/etc/wlan/sdio-g-cdc-reclaim-idsup-wme-pktfilter-keepalive-aoe-toe-ccx-wapi.bin" and with a F3 in Total Commander contain this:
"NONE WEP1 TKIP WEP128 AES_CCM AES_OCB_MSDU AES_OCB_MPDU CKIP CKIP_MMH WEP_MMH" and
"ccx_auth_mode"
The file is in the Streaksmi.zip which is miui for dell streak that has bcm4325 chipset.

Flash [ROM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies / M-Series [RC5] and say many thanks to Mustaavalkosta !!! - Tested working build: cm-10.1-20130709-UNOFFICIAL-ace.zip
I too have issues with wifi sometimes, but I found using miui and connecting, inputting the password and then using the individual settings to input a manual IP and all that seems to work.
Sorry if I've misunderstood

So what is different between MIUI and a usual Android system?
No idea apart from that it keeps the individual settings separately so you don't have to input manually every time you need to change, but it seems to be the only thing that works for all the networks I use.

Is it capable to connect with Ad-Hoc type of networks too?
And the answer is "Yes", wpa_supplicant from MIUI is capable to connect to Ad-Hoc networks.
Not sure what your problem connecting might be. At uni, we have EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2, and I can connect fine, and connect any android phones that come in fine aswell. We use a program called xpressconnect, but can do it manually too.

I have an application on my laptop that makes a network from it (like a router) which I've always assumed used ad-hoc and it's always connected fine to that so yeah I assume so =)
Old Leedroid ROMs used to work too if you wanted sense, but they were back in August-ish time
Already tried manual config

Before i start this thread i tried several combination of configurations, I buyed even Advanced Leap WiFi from market and nothing. This problem is not from configuration because, like I said windows mobile and symbian is piece of cake to connect.
My connection is hidden ssid. After I put my credentials configured with leap, another network with same name but with WEP security appears, saying connecting...disconnected.
Update
I just tried MIUI and conclusions are:
1) Ad-Hoc is connectible (but stock android with a modified(patched) wpa_supplicant is capable to connect to Ad-Hoc too).
2) LEAP is still doing Connecting....Disconnected.
3) MIUI has a file named "/system/bin/wpa_cli" which stock didn't have it.

For number 2 try manually inputting a static ip, dns, gateway and netmask =)
Must be something which makes the difference

Thanks for the tip, I will try tomorrow. But what is the catch? What makes WM and Symbian better than Android when is about connecting to a LEAP network?
So you'd like other people to build an app for you?
Learn how to code!
All android comunity will thank to the courageous developer who will create the tweak

Why do you say "YOU"? Is not just me, is the whole android community that has lack of what i said in the thread. The work that will be done by a skilled developer from here will be used in the future by all androiders.
All the info and opinions that will be wrote in here will help the "courageous developer" to build the Complete WiFi UI.
My experience with the WiFi will help others to connect on similar networks.
In my opinion this is true development: trying to reach the impossible, or not yet possible, or not yet known.
I think is at last 1 developer in here which knows very good the WiFi protocols and can give us a hint.
For us (the ordinary users) is very difficult to start now learn coding in android and network protocols, because will last at least six months of staying in codes to get the idea of coding.
Compiling in android OS

I checked your thread and is says nothing about compiling in Android OS. In my opinion this is the root cause of not fully working WiFi connectivity. With a proper .conf file of latest wpa_supplicant i think that the issue will become history.
Logcat and new tests
Hello again,
I've made some new tests and I found ......... nothing.
The thread with steps that i followed is this: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8804
I have a 3G connection problem, I try to reach a web server behind a 3G router:
Parameters are:
HTC Desire Android 2.2.2 or Samsung Galaxy S II Android 2.3
ASUS TF101 Android 3.2.1
Browser: Dolphin Browser HD or standard HTC and or ASUS browser
3G Router 3G Vololink VA122-Q or Ericsson W21
In this configuration:
[HTC Desire]~~~<3G>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<Cloud>~~~<3G>~~ ~[3G Router]---<LAN>---(WEB Server)
[Samsung S II]~~~<3G>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<Cloud>~~~<3G>~~ ~[3G Router]---<LAN>---(WEB Server)
I almost alwaysHTTPError503 -Service unavailable
From Time to Time ( ~1/20), the communication is ok.
In these configurations:
[HTC Desire]~~~~~<Wifi>~~~[FAI Router]~~~~~~~~~~<Cloud>~~~<3G>~~~[3G Router]---<LAN>---(WEB Server)
[Samsung S II]~~~<Wifi>~~~[FAI Router]~~~~~~~~~~<Cloud>~~~<3G>~~~[3G Router]---<LAN>---(WEB Server)
[ASUS TF101]~~~~~<Wifi>~~~[HTC Desire]~~~<3G>~~~<Cloud>~~~<3G>~~~[3G Router]---<LAN>---(WEB Server)
[iPhone 4]~~~<3G>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<Cloud>~~~<3G>~~~[3G Router]---<LAN>---(WEB Server)
no problem.
Where to look?
Android 2 problem, Timeout problem?
Thanks for your help.
is there any website etc. place for custom firmwares for mobile router and dongles, like Huawei E5573Cs-322?
i have such a device and like to tweak it, maybe for speed, security or some other features...
thx,
mAX
Hi! How to configure[emoji362]Huawei Echolife hg8245U in Slovakia [emoji1217] with NordVPN[emoji123]?. Huawei Echolife hg8245U is a standard optical router for several years. Orange ISP[emoji273] in Slovakia country - adds Huawei Echolife hg8245U optical connection with boundle to the "Orange Home Optic Internet called Fibernet +Tv+VoIP calling". Huawei Echolife hg8245U is like multimedia hub for everything with optical direct master for the main key public internet network "All in One Device". Huawei Echolife hg8245U is used by millions of people all around the World[emoji289] and I don't have option with direct support from NordVPN or protocols with NordVPN like NordLynx.
