Connecting Personal Linux devices to Wired Network
For Linux devices owned by the College of Engineering, submit a ticket to the COE Tech team.
Make sure your Linux computer is plugged into the MU network via an Ethernet cable before starting.
Step 1: Open Wired Connection Settings
The exact steps will vary depending on what distribution and desktop environment you are using, but on the Gnome desktop you can access the wired connection settings from the system tray on the right part of the top bar:
Step 2: Open settings for your wired interface
Open the settings for your wired connection to the network. It might be a gear icon next to a specific connection like this:
Step 3: Select the security tab and enter connection information
The exact user interface may vary, but there are a few things you will want to configure:
- Make sure 802.1x Security is enabled
- Selected "Protected EAP (PEAP)" as authentication method
- Select "No CA certificate is required"
- PEAP version set to automatic
- Inner authentication is set to "MSCHAPv2"
- Domain is "marqnet.mu.edu" if there is a domain field
- Username is your Marquette username with "@marqnet.mu.edu" at the end
- Password is your MU password
Something you will want to be aware of is that you may accidentally expose your MU password if multiple people use your Linux computer and your password is set to be saved for all users:
