Connecting to Eduroam with NetworkManager

- Right-click the NetworkManager icon. The default placement of the icon in gnome is to the top right of your screen.

- From the list of networks choose "Eduroam"

- You should now have a screen that is identical to the picture above, with the exception of "Identity" and "password".
- In the field titled "Identity" enter "yourusername@ntnu.no"
- In the field titled "Password" enter your password.
- If your network card supports it, you can change the "Wireless Security" field to "WPA2 Enterprise", which will give you increased privacy.
- Press the button "Login to Network" to connect to Eduroam.

You will now either be asked to type the password of your "keyring", or to create a keyring.

When you have done all of the above you will see that the NetworkManager icon starts moving, and after a little while you'll hopefully see the message:
