I have a Motorola Q9m with a Spectec SDW-822 wifi card and I am having
a hard time connecting to my school's Wifi network.

Here is the configuration that they are using.

I can't disable the server certificate as they want me to so it will
not connect. Nobody that I know of makes a utility or client for
smartphones that will let me connect. Anybody's help would be great.

If your phone is requiring a server certificate to connect to a WiFi network
that doesn't need one, this means that you have set the network security
uncorrectly. Check again the way you have defined on the network
definitions, probably you need an OPEN network with WEP encryption only.

Why would I put an open with WEP when its encrypted by WPA2? Does WM6
support WPA2? Since there are instructions for the PPC version but its
for the Odyssey client, I am trying to mimic those settings but of
course WM6 doesn't give half those options to make it work. I am not a
guru in wifi or anything and I don't know too much on wireless
security so if I am being stupid then just say so.

I was wrong about WEP, I did not know your network was using WPA2.

Anyway, the request for the certificate should be connected to definitions
on LEAP or EAP.
