Eduroam wireless use open standards, such as 802.1x with WPA2 and PEAP. These standards are supported by the latest versions of Linux. However, not all Linux systems are alike; some have graphical tools to use these standards, while others require you to use command line configurations. There are many user groups on the Internet that may be able to help you determine the correct configuration for your Linux operating system and hardware. The most commonly reported problem is with out-of-date or unavailable hardware drivers.
For devices using wpa_supplicant, we recommend the following configuration:
network={
ssid="eduroam"
identity="YOURNETID@dartmouth.edu" # Edit this
password="YOURPASSWORD" # and this
disabled=0
scan_ssid=0 # No broadcast probe requests
auth_alg=OPEN # No WEP
ieee80211w=1 # Use PMF/MFP if available (Required for WPA3)
key_mgmt=FT-EAP WPA-EAP # Use Fast Roaming if available
proto=RSN # WPA2/3
pairwise=CCMP # WPA2/3 AES-CCMP
group=CCMP # WPA2/3 AES-CCMP
# Authentication:
eap=PEAP
anonymous_identity="anonymous@dartmouth.edu"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
ca_path="/etc/ssl/certs"
}
We also recommend reviewing our manual installation steps for setting up access to Eduroam. See Eduroam Wireless Network.
