Connecting your Linux Computer to eduroam (Campus Wi-Fi)

You will need the latest build of your preferred version of Linux. These instructions have been tested with Mint Linux 7 Gloria, OpenSUSE 11, Ubuntu 9, Fedora 11 and Debian 5.

The wireless network at UK universities is called eduroam. To connect to eduroam you will need to provide your username and password. However, when typing in your username add the text @lsbu.ac.uk - this will allow you to connect at LSBU. If you visit another University your device will automatically connect to eduroam there too!
