UGA PAWS-Secure connection (Fall 2014)

UGA PAWS-Secure connection (Fall 2014)

What you need to get online:
A UGA account is required. If you have a UGA email address and Student login, then your one step closer to completing this.

These directions assume you are running Arch Linux and have the AUR repository configured.

I have not tried this using the network management tool for Gnome or the standard one for KDE, however instructions should be similar.

Arch Linux

Connect to the UGA guest network or Ethernet

Verify connection with the Internet ... 

i.e. ping www.google.com from a terminal window (konsole or tty0)

Install Yaourt

In my opinion, yaourt makes this easier.
Refer to the instructions on Arch Linux wiki for yaourt installation.

• yaourt plasma-applets-networkmanagement
• Logout of KDE and back in

Add the new Network Management widget:

1. Click the Cashew (desktop widgets tool).
2. Add Widget.
3. Search for network.
4. Add Network Management widget to the panel and left-click it.
5. Choose "Manage Connections"
6. If PAWS-Secure was previously configured, choose from the list of connections and delete as it could interfere with this process.

2. Choose Wireless connection
3. Choose Scan

KDE Network Management
with Most configurations set

KDE Network Management
applet version 0.9.0.9 (2013 from AUR)

This should connect without issue as I've tested and confirmed this to work without issue on 2 separate laptops with both versions 0.9.0.9 from 2013 and Version 0.9.0.11 (nm09 20140423).
