FIXME

Usage¶

Installation¶

sudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome ssl-certificates

Configuration¶

1. Click on the network icon in GNOME panel
2. Select Network Settings
3. Click on Wireless
4. Select the bfh network in the Network Name dropdown menu
5. Click on Options

Use the following settings in the Wireless Security tab:

• Security: WPA & WPA 2 Enterprise
• Authentication: Protected EAP (PEAP)
• CA Certificate: /etc/ssl/certs/QuoVadis_Root_CA_2.pem
• PEAP version: Automatic
• Inner authentication: MSCHAPv2
• Username: USERNAME
• Password: PASSWORD

Note: Replace USERNAME with your BFH account name. Also, specifying your user password is possible so you do not need to enter it on every connect, however, this decreases security of your BFH account, so don’t do it. It’s ok to select ‘Connect automatically’ though.

Note: If you are using eduroam, the USERNAME is ‘$USERNAME@bfh.ch’, not just ‘$USERNAME’. Usage

Wireless Network connections can be enabled and disabled in the network-manager menu via the network icon in the GNOME panel.
