   7 1. Open the Network List (Ctrl + S)
   8 2. The freenode network may already exist; find it in the list then click on Edit
   9 3. In the "User name" field, enter your primary nick
  10 4. Select `SASL (username + password)` for the "Login method" field
  11 5. In the "Password" field, enter your NickServ password
  12
  13 If you are unable to edit the "User name" field, the change can be made in the "User Information" section on the Network List window.

  15 If everything was configured correctly, you should see a `SASL authentication successful` message when you connect. You will already be identified to NickServ, so you don't need to do this again.
