Connecting an Ubuntu netbook to the wireless network
NOTE: Your wireless card must be configured for a DHCP assigned IP address for your computer to connect to the University's wireless networks.
These instructions are written for computers running Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix. These instructions will guide you through the necessary configuration steps to allow your netbook to connect to the "cu-wifi-secure" (Clarion campus), "ven-wifi-secure" (Venango campus) or "resnet-wifi-secure" (ResNet) network. The network is design for use by Clarion University staff, faculty and students that are using their personal laptops to access the University's wireless network. You should only have to perform the steps in the guide one time per device.
You will need administrative rights to your computer to complete this configuration.
