From: Trent on 11 Jul 2008 00:27 I have not heard of anyone getting it to work. I have been trying to get it to work on a university network. Seems everyone in the EE and CS departments has tried and all failed using these instructions: Since Mac is based on BSD, you would THINK it would work.

However I do notice that I need to connect to a LEAP type of connection, while Mad Wifi only has PEAP. Unless I am using a older driver? |
