Those steps have been outdated since the 2.0 firmware came out and enterprise encryption started being supported. Here's how to connect to the faster PAL2.0:

1)Goto Settings--> Wi-Fi--> Other...
2)For name enter "PAL2.0" (no spaces)
3)For security select "WPA Enterprise"
4)Enter your career account username and password
5)Click accept when it pops up

Also, you need to be in range of the network, ie on campus, to set it up. Also, since the ssid is not broadcast in most areas, you may have to go into settings and select it manually when you want to connect, but you don't have to enter your login info every time.

Has anyone figured this out for the new update of the ipod touch???? I cannot figure it out at all and I'm getting frustrated.
 
The steps are exactly the same for the iPod touch.

yeah, i've tried it about 10 times now and it continues to tell me that it is unable to connect to PAL2.0. and i was in the lobby where i use my laptop all the time so i know it's a good connection. it just keeps checking the PAL2.0 instructions. which tells me to download crap for my laptop.
