Configuring WPA2 for Linux

Configuring WPA2 for Linux Saint Paul University’s wireless network SSID is ustpaul. (You should only associate with this network). Networks with other names are rogue networks which are not part of the University. They may be there as an attempt to steal your password or other information. Note that the University’s networks use encryption to prevent others from viewing your traffic.

Requirements Install WPA_SUPPLICANT from the repository if it is not already installed on the system: • •

$ sudo yum install wpa_supplicant (for Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora) $ sudo apt-get install wpa_supplicant (for Debian version. eg. Ubuntu)

Configuration 1. The NetworkManager applet should appear on the right-hand side of the notification panel (task bar). Right-click on the icon and verify that Enable Network and Enable Wireless are checked.

2. Left-click on the icon and select the ustpaul wireless network.
