[Nottingham] Wireless connection at University of Nottingham

[Aritra Dalal]

Works well on my Maemo N900... Any wireless with WPA2-PEAP or TTLS configuration would work.
Although, I must say, they should have a certificate for authenticity.
As far as the internet connection on the wireless (or wired) goes, direct connection should work, although there is a proxy in place, and the autoconfigure proxy is http://wwwcache.nottingham.ac.uk/proxy.pac .
-A
PS. The one thing that does annoy me is the uni's SMTP access from outside campus network.
