Introduction

To configure Eduroam, use the Network Manager. In case it isn't installed on your system, install it using the following commands, that depend on your desktop environment - network-manager-kde or network-manager-gnome.

Configuration

The following instructions are based on the LXDE desktop environment. The fields are very similar to Gnome and KDE Network managers.

1. Locate the Network Connections icon on your desktop and left click on it. Select the eduroam network. In case the network is not in range, you will need to configure it using the "Create New Wireless Network" option.
