This guide shows how to use the new WSU PEAP wireless deployment with Fedora 8. This guide assumes you are using Network Manager which is installed by default. If you have chosen to use a different window manager than is default you may need to take steps to launch Network manager, or you may follow the manual instructions.

Fedora doesn't appear to have a package for the CA certificates, so this guide is using the certificate bundled with the Pidgin instant messenger client. Please verify that Pidgin is installed before continuing.
