Issue description
I am trying to get batocera to connect to an 802.1x WiFi but I keep getting
batocera connmand[1203]: EAP type has not been found. Most likely ConnMan is not able to find a configuration for given 8021X network. Check SSID or Name match with the network name.
errors.
My batocera.conf's WiFi section is as such
# ------------ B - Network ------------ #
## Set system hostname, accessible via network share.
system.hostname=game-44e1
## Wi-Fi country code (00 for World), see https://wiki.batocera.org/wifi_ssid#i_can_t_see_my_ssid_in_the_list_but_i_can_see_my_neighbor_s
#wifi.country=FR
## Activate Wi-Fi (0,1)
wifi.enabled=1
## Wi-Fi SSID (string)
#wifi.ssid=new ssid
## Wi-Fi KEY (string)
## Escape your special chars (# ; $) with a backslash. eg. $ becomes \$
#wifi.key=new key
## Secondary Wi-Fi (not configurable via the user interface)
#wifi2.ssid=new ssid
#wifi2.key=new key
## Third Wi-Fi (not configurable via the user interface)
#wifi3.ssid=new ssid
#wifi3.key=new keybatocera-custom.config
## Add values here to connect to a hidden AP.
#wifi.hidden.ssid=hidden SSID
#wifi.hidden.key=new key
And I have created a /userdata/system/network-connman.config file, which is symlinked to /var/lib/connman/batocera-custom.config by default with the following content:
[service_mynet]
Type=wifi
Name=MySSID
#Security=ieee8021x
EAP=peap
CACertFile=/userdata/system/MyCaCertInPemFormat.pem
Phase2=MSCHAPV2
Identity=user_name
AnonymousIdentity=anonymous
Passphrase=user_password
Why does connman not work?
