wpa_supplicant and network-admin

[Mazen Ghattas]

Can anyone post a step-by-step howto to configure this?
I have tried wpa_supplicant to connect to the network of my university but
it didn't work, they told me it might be the drivers of my wireless card but
it's working perfect from normal networks, i'm using Wifi-Radar and it's
pretty easy to configure but for the network of my university which is
highly Secure, i can't!
any help?
Thanks
