Access to the wireless network (WLAN) of the Mathematical Institute of the University of Bonn

In order to use the Mathematical Institute's wireless network and surf the web, you have to save the files pertaining to your access certificate and set up the network access. For higher connection speeds, you can additionally configure the proxy-settings in your webbrowser.

Configuring NetworkManager

Sadly there are different kinds of user interfaces for the configuration of NetworkManager, which require different approaches and which are not all available to us for testing.
If you are using the Gnome-desktop, as is the case for example in Ubuntu, then you are using nm-applet.
If on the other hand you are using KDE4 as your desktop (as for example Kubuntu does), you are using Plasma-Widget.
The older program knetworkmanager, part of KDE3, is sadly bugged and no longer supported.
