Note .: For some distributions of Linux OS connection may not be working! The procedure has been tested on Linux Mint distribution 17.3. For Ubuntu 16.04 LTS connection does not work (at the time of 06/2016).

To gain access to ethernet network at the dormitory you must take the following steps:

1. Setting the wifi password

2. Network settings:

  1. Click on the icon indicating the network connection and select Network Settings.

  6. If you are connecting to a wired network outside the university (eg. At home) and there connection does not work, go to the original profile (probably called Wired connection 1), which is without 802.1x authentication.
