This article is about how to get internet at KIT with Linux. It was tested on Linux Mint 16 MATE which is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian.
WLAN
At KIT are a lot of WLANs, but only two are important: wkit-802.1x and eduroam.

- CA certificate: deutsche-telekom-root-ca-2.crt (source)
- PEAP version: Automatic
- Inner authentification: MSCHAPv2

VPN
I use Juniper VPN.
The following lines install some prerequesites, download Juniper from this page, unpack it and execute the shell script.
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32z1 lib32nss-mdns
wget http://www.scc.kit.edu/scc/sw/juniper/7.4R8/linux_vpn_7.4R8.tar.gz
tar -xzvf linux_vpn_7.4R8.tar.gz
cd juniper_linux
./vpn-install.sh
After you have done this, you can use juniper with
jnc -n kit
The -n flag disables GUI. It will show this:
Server certificate verified and CN is vpn.kit.edu. Saving in /home/moose/.juniper_networks/network_connect/config/vpn.kit.edu.der.
Password:
Connecting to vpn.kit.edu : 443.

You can stop it with jnc stop.
