- +
-**NOTE: These instructions are somewhat dated due to upgrades to the Android OS in fall 2009.  Specifically, PAL2.0 can now be configured from within the phone UI, obviating the need to copy and paste the wpa_supplicant.conf configuration file.** +
- +
-1. Install the Android SDK.  Open a local shell window.  Plug in the Android via USB. +
- +
-2. Start the adb daemon as root... +
- +
-<code> +
-% adb root +
-</code> +
- +
-3. Get a copy of the ''Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem'' file from [[http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/fultz/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem|here]] (or elsewhere).   +
- +
-4. Save the certificate to a local file, say ''cert.pem''. +
- +
-5. Copy the certificate to the phone... +
- +
-<code> +
-% adb push cert.pem /sdcard/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem +
-</code> +
- +
-6. Get the current ''wpa_supplicant.conf'' file from ''/data/misc/wifi'' (if it exists)... +
- +
-<code> +
-% adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf x.txt +
-</code> +
- +
-7. Copy the text below into your (scratch) ''x.txt'' file.  Be sure to edit in your login id and password (sigh). +
- +
-<code> +
-ctrl_interface=tiwlan0 +
-update_config=1+
  
-network={ +To configure Android-based phones to work with PAL2.0...

- phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2" +
-} +
-</code>+
  
-8. Copy your modified ''x.txt'' file back out to the ''wpa_supplicant.conf'' file.  (Delete ''x.txt'' when you're done, since it contains your password!)+1. Settings (from home screen, press option hard key).
  
-<code> +2. Wireless & Networks.
-% adb push x.txt /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf +
-</code>+
  
-9. Turn off WiFi, and then turn it back on.  If that doesn't do it, then reboot the phone...+3. Wi-Fi settings.
  
-<code> +4. Add Wi-Fi network (at bottom of screen). 
-% adb shell +  * Network SSID: PAL2.0 
-# reboot +  * Security: 802.1x EAP
