Raspberry Pi 3 Model B running Raspbian "Jessie with PIXEL" (Release 2016-09-23).

It appears that all the WiFi networks that requires authentication other than a PSK are grayed out in the menu.

What is the reason behind this? Not supported by driver or not support by GUI?

Thanks!

Turns out it is just the GUI that does not support WPA2 Enterprise. Was able to connect to those grayed-out networks by manually modifying /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf as follows:

network={
    ssid="VostroNet"
    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
    eap=TTLS   //put your EAP method
    identity="xxxxx"
    password="xxxxx"
    phase2="auth=MSCHAPv2"
}

Most of the answers I found online were obsolete, with the latest release of Raspbian. I made a post with the fix, Connecting a Raspberry Pi 3 to Enterprise Wifi:

Type this in your terminal : 

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Edit the contents of the file to the following :

network={
      ssid=""
      priority=1
      proto=RSN
      key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
      pairwise=CCMP
      auth_alg=OPEN
      eap=PEAP
      identity=""
      password=""
      phase1="peaplabel=0"
      phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
      }

Press Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to exit.

Fill in the blanks:

  • ssid with your University wifi’s ssid(name);
  • identity with your username, and;
  • password with your password.

For the eduroam environment in our university, the wpa_supplicant.conf looks like this:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=NL

network={
  ssid="eduroam"
  scan_ssid=1
  key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
  eap=PEAP
  identity="name@university.nl"
  password="MyPassword"
  phase1="peaplabel=0"
  phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
