First, left click the Networks icon near the date.
From the menu which is displayed, click "Connect to Other Wireless Network..."
Enter the name UANA, and then select WPA2 Enterprise from the Wireless Security menu. Many, many options will appear.
For EAP method select TTLS.
For Key Type select Dynamic WEP.
For Phase2 Type select PAP.
For Identity type your username.
For Password type your password.
If you have a CA Certificate (probably not, unless you made one or a friend has one from Windows, see previous post) select that for CA Certificate File.
Click connect.
Connected! Of course, you don't have a direct connection to the internet, so set up Proxy settings (for Firefox, click Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Settings and set Manual Proxy Configuration with HTTP proxy of proxy.utas.edu.au and port of 8080).
[2008-May-10: Tested, 7.10 is fine. However, doesn't work well with hibernation, requiring a reboot or such to reconnect to the network; also doesn't reconnect if previously set up a UANA connection incorrectly, requiring the deletion of the UANA settings and then re-entry of details]
Thanks to someone for demonstrating how to connect to UANA... I'll remember your name next Tuesday :-P

Exporting certificates on Vista
I still can't get my laptop connected to UANA. I am using 8.04 with Intel 4965AGN wifi card.
Hi William,
If you need any help connecting to UANA, please send me your email or mobile number.
I'm studying in Hobart.

Not sure how Sharif intends to be contacted... Can't see email/mobile? anyways, drop around to Post Grad 3 on level 3 of Computing's building and I can check out your laptop.
After some time, found the Linux drivers for Intel wireless cards 4965 & 3945 have problems with 80211X security - which is what UANA uses.
The bug report is here: http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1522
This pretty much means until the bug is fixed, no-one using those Intel cards will be able to use UANA in Linux, though there were some indications users of ndiswrapper may be able to. Good luck.
