If the network is not currently in range, click History to display past connections. When you click the gear wheel icon the editing connection dialog appears. The Details window shows the connection details. To configure a new connection whose SSID is in range, first attempt to connect to it by opening the Network window, selecting the Wi-Fi menu entry, and clicking the connection name by default, the same as the SSID. If the SSID is in range, the procedure is as follows:.
Press the Super key to enter the Activities Overview, type control network and then press Enter. The Network settings tool appears.
Select the Wi-Fi interface from the left-hand-side menu entry. Click the Wi-Fi connection profile on the right-hand side menu you want to connect to. A padlock symbol indicates a key or password is required. To edit a Wi-Fi connection's settings, select Wi-Fi in the Network page and then select the gear wheel icon to the right of the Wi-Fi connection name.
Select Identity. The following settings are available:. For ad-hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly by the mac subsystem when the ad-hoc network is created. It is not displayed by NetworkManager.
A single system could have one or more wireless network adapters connected to it. The MAC address field therefore allows you to associate a specific wireless adapter with a specific connection or connections. A cloned MAC address to use in place of the real hardware address. The following steps demonstrate how to configure a wireless connection in Fedora Documentation using the command-line interface CLI using the iwconfig command.
This is an example only and demonstrates how simple wireless connections are configured in Fedora Documentation using the iwconfig command. Using NetworkManager is the recommended method to configure a wireless network, and knowing how to use iwconfig is usually not required. First make sure NetworkManager is not controlling the interface.
As an extra measure of security, some administrators configure their networks not to broadcast the SSID, essentially making the network invisible to anyone scanning for networks. In such scenarios, the only way to connect to the network is by specifying the SSID, thereby making it impossible for anyone without knowledge of the SSID to even attempt to establish a connection.
To connect to a hidden network from a Fedora system, begin by finding out the SSID and authentication key for the network from the network administrator. With this information available, left click on the NetworkManager icon in the top desktop panel and select Connect to Hidden Wireless Network from the resulting menu.
This will display the Connect to a Hidden Wireless Network dialog. To disable wireless networking, right click on the NetworkManager icon in the top desktop panel and de-select the Enable Wireless check box. If problems are encountered connecting to a Wi-Fi network, the following steps may help to isolate the cause of the problem:.
