Laptop Setup
The specific software setup for the image download is in the Image Download Station setup.
WIFI
If Wifi isn't working, first check if the firmware file can be loaded!
dmesg | grep rtw_pci
In Ubuntu 18.04 the firmware for rtw8822 wifi adapter (ASUS TUF FX505DV Laptop) isn't included in linux-firmware ubuntu deb package! So after a Kernel update it can be necessary to fetch it again and copy it to the lib folder.
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/firmware/linux-firmware.git cp ./linux-firmware/rtw88/rtw8822c_wow_fw.bin /lib/firmware/rtw88/
eduroam
Eduroam does not work with the default wpasupplicant 2.6 version. I have made a backport of wpasupplicant 2.9 from Ubuntu 19.10.
You need to install that package. Please download from this wiki and unzip it.
sudo apt install libnl-route-3-200 sudo dpkg -i wpasupplicant_2.9-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
Check that the wpa supplicant service is running with
sudo systemctl status wpa_supplicant.service
In the Wifi Settings for eduroam choose in the “security” settings
- Security: WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
- Authentication: Tunneled TLS
- Anonymous identity: eduroam@hs-augsburg.de
- Check “No CA certificate is required”
- Inner Authentication: PAP
- Username: YOURUSERNAME@hs-augsburg.de
- Password: YOURPASSWORD
