My university began rolling out its new wireless network service last year, University Wireless Services (UWS) which features 802.11g and no more Putty SSH authentication. It runs fast and is decently reliable everywhere it’s been installed so far.
However, AICT only supports Windows XP and Vista, and OSX 10.4 and 10.5. So what do you do if you have an Eee PC running a custom version of Xandros Linux? Google search until its fixed.
The best run through is outlined here, and for anyone running a Linux Eee PC on campus, follow these steps. These should also translate simply to other distros, but don’t quote me on that. Just make sure you change the name of their wireless network to “UWS.”
The pro side is that you will successfully get UWS working on your Eee PC, the con is that it will take a large number of complicated steps that involve modifying files key to your computer and its ability to surf wirelessly.

For Fedora 10 it was stright forward.
select the authentication like the way university shown for Mac systems (“Tunneled TLS”), Identity as “anonymous”, inner authentication as “PAP” then ID and pasword in the Network manger applet. It will prompt to you click on “choose CA certificate” on clicking connect, Thats it.. done.
May be your NetworkManger applet will crash at the end of these steps. But a reboot or logout will bring back the NetworkManager and Network.
UWS is working well for me.

I think the Xandros distro with my EeePC is a little less intuitive. The steps above worked for me.
