   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.
