Hi all,

I have a Wifi Dongle from TP-Link which actually works fine because he finds all the available SSID's. But i'm in a school WIFI network and to access this network I need a username and my password.
The problem is that under: Raspbmc Settings > Network Configurations I can enter my SSID and the password but no username. There is just no field for this information.

Were can I enter my username?

Thank you for any help!

The network settings are a raspbmc specific feature, rather than part of xbmc, so asking here would be better:

Wifi doesn't have the concept of a username. Possibly your school has some sort of captive portal you have to log into once connected to wifi.
But the other forum has a better chance of someone knowing.

Thank for your reply.
Sorry, I'm new to Rpi and command-line handling so my knowledge in this field is limited. Anyway, before I had xbmc installed, i tried Raspbian. There, I used the GUI WiFi interface which had a field called 'identity' -> http://www.megaleecher.net/sites/default..._003-2.png were you could type in your username.

So i thought there might also be an option on xbmc..

Maybe you should discuss it with your school authorities?

Of course it has - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_...n_Protocol

Through EAP it is possible to work with username/password (using some sort of backend - for example my company uses EAP -> PEAP -> MSCHAP for authentication; We have to log in our WIFI using our AD username/password combination). This is usually referred to as "WPA Enterprise" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Prote...Enterprise )

I didn't really read through it, but from my understanding you'd have to add the configuration manually because the GUI doesn't support it.
Here is a guide that might help you - you might have to adapt a little bit to your situation though:
