MSCHAPv2 Authentication

[Riccardo Veraldi]

I simply did not understand your problem.
Your university uses a protected wireless network based on WPA + PEAP 
apparently...

So you need credentials to join the network if you do not have them you 
cannot join.
but you have to be sure your campus uses 802.1x WPA and PEAP.

Perhaps they are using EAP-TTLS instead of PEAP?
in this case you do not have the proper Windows supplicant and you need 
to install something like
securew2 from Alfa Ariss.
But on Linux using atheros chipset card like Cisco a/b/g and 
wpa_supplicant with a proper
wpa_supplicant.conf you should be able to be succesfull if you have the 
credentials.

On Linux Ubunto 6.10 there is full native support (firmware and driver) 
for Atheros like chipset cards and also Intel 2200 BG cards (the 
centrino ones), I tested it myself and they works using 
802.1x+WPA/WPA2+EAP-TTLS or PEAP
