Info

Swarthmore College ITS doesn't support network access for Linux systems, but it is possible to connect Linux to the campus network.  This page contains some tips we have collected. 

When connecting Linux devices, or a dual boot system, to the network there are a few steps to follow.  
1)    If the device was previously on the network, as a MAC or Windows device, and is being reimaged as Linux you will need to submit a ticket to the ITS helpdesk to remove the previous identification record so the Linux machine can be identified correctly.  
2)    If installing a dual boot system you will need to randomize the MAC addresses on one of your operating systems, as both systems cannot use the same MAC Address.
