Configuring the Android Dev Phone to Work with PAL2.0

  1. Install the Android SDK. Open a local shell window. Plug in the Android via USB.
  2. Start the adb daemon as root…
% adb root
  1. Get a copy of the Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem file from, say, http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/fultz/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem.
  2. Save the certificate to a local file, say cert.pem.
  3. Copy the certificate to the phone.

<copy> % adb push cert.pem /sdcard/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem - Get the current wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi (if it exists)… <code> % adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf x.txt </code> - 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={ ssid=“PAL2.0” id_str=“pal20” scan_ssid=1 proto=WPA RSN key_mgmt=WPA-EAP pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP eap=PEAP ca_cert=“/sdcard/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem” identity=“*LOGIN*” password=“*PASSWORD*” phase2=“auth=MSCHAPV2” } </code> - Copy your modified x.txt file back out to the wpa_supplicant.conf'' file.

% adb push x.txt /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
  1. Turn off WiFi, and then turn it back on. If that doesn't do it, then reboot the phone…
% adb shell
# reboot

Thanks, Charlie.
