I have some concern with the Wi-Fi connection functionality in Xubuntu. <br><br>When I tried to install Xubuntu 13.10 on a laptop, I found that the installer cannot configure Wi-Fi smartly, by which, I mean, my Wi-Fi uses WPA2 PEAP MSCHAP-v2 encryption, and therefore needs both a username and a password to log in, but the installer only provides the field for password; you cannot type username. So at installation time, I cannot connect to my Wi-Fi (and failed to download grub for UEFI package and the whole installation became useless at the last step...).<br><br>There was same issue on Windows before version 8.1, and iOS before version 7, but now Windows 8.1 and iOS 7 can detect the encryption method and ask both password AND username if needed.<br><br>Another thing is that in Xubuntu desktop environment, when I want to connect to the Wi-Fi, it shows many properties waiting to be configured. Using the same Wi-Fi I mentioned before, I have to choose everything like WPA2, PEAP, and MSCHAP-v2, and so on, and none of the default options is the one I want. May it be changed smartly so that I can find the proper options for the Wi-Fi signal automatically? In Windows, Intel MyWiFi utility gives roughly same amount of (annoying) properties but all of them are pre-configured automatically well so a user doesn't have to choose every item one by one.<br><br>I do love the ability to set every details, but it doesn't hurt if those things can be done at system's side so users can use it without extra work. I wonder if these kinds of stuff can be built into the system; or please tell me if I am using the system in an incorrect way.<br id="FontBreak"></font><br><br><div>Thanks!<br></div><div><br></div>Sincerely,<div>Xiangyu Bu</div> </div></body> </html>
