Hi,
I manage to get it to work. I have added the instructions below in case
anybody needs it ;/
I used "wpa_supplicant" and using some instructions, sort of got Puppy
online, but it was a little convoluted as, in the end, I needed to
connect to "Wireless @SG" using the GUI, although the output of iwconfig
showed I was using "***@SGx".
This worked for me on Puppy Linux 5.1.1, it may also work for you:
1) Read this to get started on ***@SGx and get a login etc:

<http://www.youngntuc.com.sg/youngntuc/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=6267>
2) If not already installed get wpa_supplicant by following the
instructions on the following web page. Note, it was already installed
on Puppy 5.1.1
http://www.codealias.info/technotes/wireless_security_wpa/wap2_with_eap-peap_using_wpa_supplicant_and_client_ssl_certificates_linux_setup
(no need to download a certificate)
3) Create a config file anywhere e.g. wpa_supplicant.conf with the
following :
network={
ssid="***@SGx"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
eap=PEAP
identity="12345678|yourLongIDHereBlahBlah==@stm"
password="YourPasswordHere"
phase1="peapver=0"
phase2="MSCHAPV2"
}
Make sure you replace 123456...Blah and YourPasswordHere with your
credentials!
4) Run wpa_supplicant, e.g.
/sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -Dwext -c wpa_supplicant.conf
5) Ensure it is running
ps -ef | grep wpa_sup
root 12782 1 0 15:15 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0
iwconfig output should look like this:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"***@SGx"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point:
00:0B:85:92:79:9E
Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=27/100 Signal level=27/100
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
* Scan and authenticate
Right-click Puppy's normal network icon in the tray (bottom right),
select "Setup networking", select wlan0, (after the scan) select
***@SG (without the x) and select WPA (leave Key empty) and click on
connect. (btw: "dhcpcd wlan0" did not work for me)
For me it connected and I could immediately use the internet without
having to authenticate in a browser.
Hope this helps. Can this be done better? What is the easiest way to
automated this on Puppy?

Hi All,
I have configured ***@SGx on my blackberry ok. Now I am having
difficulty doing the same with Linux, specifically Puppy Linux 5.1.1.
I suppose I need to set it up on the command line as I cannot select
PEAP etc with Puppy's GUI, has anyone done it already? ;)
Here is a conf guide (Linux missing :():

Any help appreciated!
