Yes. I use ifup eth1 and some seconds later I get the interface up.

wext is correct.

Your interfaces misses a rule for work.
This is my wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
# fast_reauth=1
### Associate with any open access point
### Scans/ESSID changes can be done with wpa_cli
network={
ssid="802.1X"
id_str="fsu_dhcp" # this is passed to ifup eth1=fsu_dhcp
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=TTLS
anonymous_identity="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
identity="<my login name>"
password="<my password>"
ca_cert="/etc/ssl/certs/FSU.pem"
phase2="auth=PAP"
priority=4
}
And this is my /etc/network/interfaces:
iface eth1 inet manual
wpa_roam /home/joerg/.etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa_driver wext
iface fsu_dhcp inet dhcp
down env interface=eth1 /etc/udhcpc/default.deconfig
Bye, Jörg.
