PALM PRE: WPA2 can't connect to wi-fi because a domain field is not available

[ Edited ]

On my Palm Pre I am unable to connect to the wireless network (wi-fi) at school or work because both require a WPA2 connection with a Username/Password & Domain name.

I couldn't get it to work yesterday and did some research at night and figured maybe I could connect via "enterprise setting" however this is not the case... very disappointing.  Palm has about 27 days to find a fix or this phone will be returned and I will reactive my treo. 

 

Does anyone know a way around this?  It really upsets me that the phone is stated as WPA2 capable yet no domain name field exists!

Have you tried putting your domain name before the username, i.e. <DOMAIN>\<USERNAME>? e.g.

 

Username: School\John Doe

Password: **********

 

If you network is not hidden, you don't even need to specify the security setting. I think it does it automatically when I select a network from the list, at least for me. Good luck!
