I bet it is the TTLS credentials (user name, password, etc). The actual device certificates are embedded in the device, there is no way (or need) for them to modify them. > 2) Is there a way to install these credentials in Linux?

Clearwire, for example, just does MAC level authentication, you associate your MAC address to your account and are good to go, there is no extra authentication (ok, I am kind of lying here, your login name is [email protected] <or similar>)). > Thank you for your attention. > > > > > On Wed, 15 Dec 2010 09:39:46 +0900 > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Hello, > > > > I connected to UQ Wimax in Japan, and via the wimax connection went > > through their web-driven subscription process.
