Our dear TUBIT changes again everything. Now they abandon one wireless network in favor for an another. Thus, here are instructions, how to access the new TUBIT network using wicd.

First

Follow instruction on TUBIT page to get the CA Cert. Or just use the excerpt of the important part here:

wget http://www.tubit.tu-berlin.de/fileadmin/a40000000/tubIT/Trustcenter/TU-Berlin_Zertifikatkette.pem
mkdir -p /usr/share/ca-certificates/tu-berlin.de
mv TU-Berlin_Zertifikatkette.pem /usr/share/ca-certificates/tu-berlin.de/
echo tu-berlin.de/TU-Berlin_Zertifikatkette.pem >> /etc/ca-certificates.conf
update-ca-certificates

Second

Setup wicd as follows:

Encryption: PEAP with TKIP/MSCHAPV2
Identify: <you-tubit-account>@win.tu-berlin.de
Password: <secret>
Path to CA Cert: /usr/share/ca-certificates/tu-berlin.de/TU-Berlin_Zertifikatkette.pem

And you are done.
