maemo

I'm using Maemo on a Nokia n810 Internet tablet, and when given a list of installed certificates to choose from when connecting to a PEAP wireless network, it's always blank. I've already installed a couple of certificates through the gui on the device, and only the certificate authorities show up.

I've confirmed that Maemo's connection software that handles certificates is buggy, in such a way that certificates are never added, or properly added certificates cannot be found.

Is there a way to add WLAN certificates at the command-line, and connect to a wireless network at the command-line as well?

I used to use iwconfig to connect, but I never used it with PEAP.

Note: I have nothing in /etc/ssl/certs
