windowswindows 8wpa2
I want to connect to my school network through a hotspot called utcpers, with encryption, using WPA2-Enterprise.
I'm using a Broadcom 43224AGN 802.11a/b/g/n 2×2 wi-fi adapter.
Using Windows 7 and Ubuntu, I can connect with the same credentials and settings described here, but Windows 8 fails to connect to this network.
The tracing logs are available here.
Any help will be very welcome!
From the Dell site:
Click Start.
Click Programs or All programs.
Point to Intel PROSet Wireless.
Click Intel PROSet Wireless.
When the message Windows is currently managing this wireless adapter appears, click Enable Intel PROSet/Wireless.
Click Profiles.
Click Add.
Ensure Network (Infrastructure) - Connect to wireless networks and/or the Internet is >selected.
Input the Profile Name and Wireless Network Name (SSID), then click Next.
Ensure Enterprise Security is selected.
Using the drop down menu next to Network Authentication:, select WPA - Enterprise or WPA2 - Enterprise as needed.
Using the drop down menu next to Authentication Type: select the correct type of EAP authentication.
Click OK, once the wireless network adapter is configured for EAP authentication.
Click Close on the Profiles window.
Slightly different instructions here, might be for XP.
You need to install a 3rd party tool as EAP-TTLS is not supported by the OS out-of-the-box.
If you're not comfortable with SecureW2 I'd recommend XSupplicant. It's open source (GPLv2), runs fine on Windows and has a GUI.

After countless hours with the IT department at my Uni and countless hours of remote control with the boys at MS, no one had a fix. Then I found an interesting article that talked about compatibility of some routers' software with current Windows 8 software.
Since our Unis are unlikely to update the software for the network, downgrade your drivers to Windows 7 drivers. If you upgrade from Windows 8, this should be really easy (just rollback the driver). If not, it's still possible by downloading a driver that works (they are out there). I am running a 2010 MacBook Pro with Windows 8 using Boot Camp and I was able to find a Windows 7 driver that worked. After you have that driver, restart, get your network config in and connect. Unfortunately I have to log in every time my computer turns on or awakens from sleep, but hey, it's a connection, right?
