<br>Hi folks.<br><br>I don't know much about wireless, but I do know some networking and programming and administration.<br><br>I have a Palm TX PDA, which has 802.11b.<br><br>Where I work, they use WPA/TKIIP/PEAP. Only. And they do it a little strangely - some sort of problem with the certificate - it may be self signed, I don't know. Anyway, when you set up a windows machine for wireless here, it gives you a warning about the certificate, and the admins (who apparently don't give out the wireless password) quickly click past the warning and call it done.
<br><br>I don't have that option on my TX, and the admins here seem to feel that if something isn't running windows, it isn't worth supporting - even though our product is 100% linux. Shrug. To these people, the only normal mail program in the world is outlook, and only if used with MAPI - IMAP is a no no, as is the outlook web interface.
<br><br>Anyway, there's this windows program (which appears to run in wine on Linux), that allows you to import a public key from an access point (from a file, not from the wireless network itself apparently!), and from that file generate a palm .pdb file (a palm database file) that at least in theory :) should give me access to the wireless in my workplace.
<br><br>And of course, when I asked our admins for the public key, they just ignored me. :(<br><br>Which leads to my question: Is there some program I can run on windows (I have a wireless windows laptop) or on linux (I have a wired linux desktop I could probably install a wifi card in, though that'd probably disrupt my work more, because I use it a lot more than the windows machine) that'll obtain the public key, and stuff it in a file in a common format - after which I'd import that file into the palm Wifi Profile Wizard (cute - a "wizard" for something that should've been fully automated :), get the .pdb, sync the .pdb to my PDA, and finally get wireless working on it?
<br><br>Anyone have any suggestions? (I mean other than finding a new place to work :)<br><br>Thanks in advance!<br><br>
