Wireless network enables properly-equipped computers to connect to the internet and/or campus network without a network cable. The wireless network works by radio—network card in your computer transmits and receives information from network-access-points installed across the campus by high-frequency radio waves. Wireless is available throughout the Whitman campus, including some outdoor areas.

Some smartphones may require you to configure your wireless configuration. Try these settings:
- EAP method: PEAP
- Phase 2 auth: MSCHAPV2
- CA certificate: use system certificates
- Domain: whitman.edu
- Identity: whitman user id
Ubuntu Linux Configuration
For students using Ubuntu Linux, or those enrolled in Computer Sciences
Default Settings:
- Security : WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
- Authentication : Protected EAP (PEAP)
- CA certificate is blank
- PEAP version : Automatic
- Inner authentication : MSCHAPv2
- Username and Password are correct.
When it prompts for a certification, you have to click cancel. Then the student needs to edit the whitman_secure configuration file in the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ directory and delete the following line:
system-ca-cert=true
For Ubuntu 14.04.X: When prompted for the CA Certificate, the student will need to check the box for Ignore this prompt and select Ignore. They do not need to edit any files.
For Ubuntu 16.04.X: The student needs to check the "No CA certificate is required" checkbox, but all other settings are identical. They also do not need to edit any files, nor will they be prompted to Ignore anything like in 14.04
