> Right. That's the EAP stuff. You don't want or need to set that. So,
> when I set up WiFi (after removing the settings for the APs that I
> previously had configured), I tap on the SSID of the AP that I want to
> connect to. This brings up a dialog that asks which network this will
> connect me to, Work or The Internet. You'll have to answer that one on
> your own.
> Tapping on the Network Key tab in the same dialog gives the choice of the
> type of authentication (open/shared). Again, you have to know the answer
> to that. Same with the setting for whether the key is automatically
> provided or you have to enter it yourself (and which key index it is).
> Presumably, WEP is the right setting for the Encryption.
> Don't enter anything on 802.1x. That's the EAP stuff and, if you aren't
> using that, setting anything there would be a bad idea.
> Tap OK and it should connect. If not, you've entered the wrong parameter
