PEAP+MSCHAPv2 WiFi authentication setup

PEAP + MSCHAPv2 WiFi Authentication Setup

Some educational sites using Eduroam support this method. Some use EAP-TTLS+PAP where you need to activate TTLS/PAP support first using the cute Qt "WLAN tool" linked to this bug report. Additionally you need the PR 1.2 firmware on your phone. PEAP + MSCHAPv2 is quite popular authentication method which is supported by the tablets, but some setup is needed. Therefore, bad out of the box experience is guaranteed. If you're uncertain, try if the step-by-step guide below works. If it doesn't - bummer.

(This example is for Eduroam for N900. Same works for 770, N800 and N810 too)
