Connecting to AirNet Using Ubuntu Linux

One of our student technicians in Client Support documented a simple guide for connecting to AirNet using Ubuntu Linux and posted it as a comment to our Understanding Campus Wireless entry. He says these concepts work for other distributions, but the commands may be different.

Our boss was impressed with these instructions (and the fact that our student used his MySBfiles to document this). We decided to pull his comment out of the obscurity of the 50+ remarks we received and made it a blog post unto itself in the hopes that it might reach a wider audience and someone might find it useful.

Way to go, Addisen!

    //var urlinput = document.getElementById(”securitycode”);//
