Linux (automatic)

Entry requirements

- You have the login credentials for your university account (Staff or Students).

- Operating system: Linux should be up to date, i.e. all updates should be installed.

- Drivers: You should ensure that the latest drivers for the WiFi adapter are installed. 
Modern Linux distributions usually install the required WiFi drivers automatically, provided that freely available drivers exist for the WiFi adapter.

Adding the configuration profile

1. Download the geteduroam app from the developer's website.
2. Open the app and select Philipps-Universität Marburg as Organization and your user group (Students or Staff) as Profile.

3. Enter your username and password and click on “Add Profile”.
- Students: username@students.uni-marburg.de
- Staff: username@staff.uni-marburg.de

Please note: The eduroam username is not an e-mail address, despite the similarity. Aliases such as firstname.lastname@staff.uni-marburg.de do not work!
