About Eduroam & Cinnamon Desktop

Due to this issue the best way to use Eduroam with Cinnamon is to create manually a Wi-Fi profile wich is explained here.

Connect to Eduroam with Cinnamon Desktop

  • Search for "Network Connections" utility :

Launch Network Connection utility

  • Click on "Add a new connection"

Add a new connection

  • Define profile name & SSID as "eduroam":

Define profile name & SSID

  • On Wi-Fi security tab change to the following (yourid @ your institution ) :

Setup security options like in this capture
For example my name is Denis Dutrannois so my login is "ddutrann@ulb.ac.be".

  • Save the profile & enjoy connection to the Eduroam Wi-Fi under Linux Mint.
