Wireless PEAP connection setup (manual)

I'm having troubles setting up a wifi connection from my ISP (Ziggo) which is using PEAP for wifi (so called hotspots). These are the specifications of the connection:

Wireless SSID Ziggo Protection Type : WPA2-Enterprise Encryptiontype: AES (CCMP) EAP Methode PEAP Phase 2-verificatie :empty Certificate: empty Anonymous identity: empty Identity: [my isp provided username] Password: [my isp provided password]

This connection has been set up on my 14.04 ubuntu box and is working flawlessely. So i figured it should be working on the Aquarius as well ... But unfortunately not. Since the BQ has no extra settings to setup a wifi connection besides WPA(2) and WEP the connection can't be made. Setting up a hidden connection does not provide more options.

I have tried to manually edit the connection info from my working setup to my phone with adb shell and editting the created profile in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. But this did not bring up the expected result...

Solved[/B] :p

After multiple failures i have it working on my BQ phone. I finally got it working! I followed this guy's help (TX!)

I only stumbled in to an unusable nano editor (non-saving and messed up layout) to edit the connection in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<#your connection here>. Since i'm not a vi user i did the following to edit the connection:

sudo cp /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<#your connection here> /home/phablet/Downloads/
sudo chown phablet:phablet /home/phablet/Downloads/<#your connection here>
sudo chmod 644 /home/phablet/Downloads/<#your connection here>

Navigate with nautilus on your regular desktop to the Downloads folder on your phone and edit the connection file with gedit (or whatever). The file should look like this:

DO NOT change the first 4 lines!

Save the file and copy the file back:

sudo cp  /home/phablet/Downloads/<#your connection here> /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

Select the network in wifi settings on your phone and it will connect.
