Hello,
since I uninstalled connman to go into the Universitäts wifi with the NetworkManager, no internet works. I can get into the network but only locally, no internet. So with thunderbird, chromium, firefox does not work. However, the tor browser works.
I guess there is a DNS problem.Unfortunately I had to delete connman to use the NetworkManager, because the uni wifi uses a certificate and 802.1x EAP TTLS.
The problem is the same whether I use the simple wifi at home with WPA2 or the uni wifi with 802.1x EAP.
It’s on AntiX 21.

Have you tried asking the UNI help desk if they have any Linux setup examples or telling them what your problem is?

Since it does not work at home, than you may:
1) See https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/internet-connection-not-avaiable/#post-73128 for a similar problem
2) You could (temporarily) force Google (or other known and free) DNS to see if it works.As @BobC pointed out, asking a help-desk is definitely a good idea.
There is an internal wi-fi at my work and one of the requirements for it to work is that your MAC address has to be registered.
(Comment: Some people may prefer to spoof their MAC instead of revealing the “true” one.)EAP TTLS certificate:
It seems like you could refer to the eduroam wi-fi.
Universities often have a guide on how to set it up and use it.
I got it to work at my employer using connman; if you have a wired connection available, then you may consider switching back to ‘connman’.
Also, I read once that one can create a connection setup file in the case of ‘connman’, e.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=242071 .

@sybok: I now live in a senior citizen community and we have a very good network here, but we do have to do a multi-factor authentication procedure each time we use a different device here, for instance, I have this older Lenovo X201 laptop. I had at least 2-3 other devices, yet when I started using this one, I had to add the MAC address to the Internet Service Provider’s site to indicate that I am using another device and that it IS a valid device that is registered to a user paying for the service at our location.
Your information is useful for a similar scenario that others may have to use when authenticating their access. Thanks for explaining how this works.

@sybok “Universities often have a guide on how to set it up and use it.” Yes i used the guide to set it up, but it did not work it that in this case. On other devices it has otherwise worked for me. It’s not a MAC issue.
The help desk is unfortunately not an option, because they have no idea about Linux and otherwise have very little idea.
I have now installed the connman package again. Since I installed the package the connection works with the network manger without problems.
However, I always have to start the network manager and the applet manually after booting via the command line. But then it connects all by itself and internet is working also.

Hi Ben, you can edit the file ‘~/.desktop-session/startup’ and add the commands for network-manager & applet there.
This should start them automatically unless you use desktop variants that begin with ‘min[imal]’.BTW, I’ve searched the forum for ‘network manager’ and this link might be of interest to you if you are willing to experiment more:
https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/split-network-manager-broken/
It suggests to set up DNS as you like it.
