How to authorize a RaspberryPi device for 802.1x WLAN

The problem with RaspberryPi devices is, that they cannot authorize themselfs in 802.1x networks. With 'wpa_supplicant' authorizing on a 802.1x networks will be possible. Proceed as followed:

  1. Change to '/etc/wpa_supplicant/'
  2. Create the file 'wpa_supplicant.conf' and make following entries (in this case for the 'eth' SSID):
        network={
        ssid="eth"
        proto=RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        pairwise=CCMP
        auth_alg=OPEN
        eap=PEAP
        identity="<NETHZlogin>"
        password="<password>"
        phase1="peaplabel=auto peapver=0"
        phase2="auth=PAP"
        }
