ssh debian@192.168.7.2
Enter password as temppwd
Connecting to IEEE8021x (PEAP/MSCAPV2) network with connman
Edit/Create : /var/lib/connman/peap-mschapv2.config
sudo vi /var/lib/connman/peap-mschapv2.config
Add the following lines:
[global]
Name = iiscwlan
Description = “IISc WLan”
[service_peap]
Type = wifi
Name = iiscwlan
EAP = peap
