@axk4545 It would be a good idea to simply have instructions on the wiki for this. Since Fedora has a GUI, it is quite simple to connect to the RIT network after the installation. In my opinion it would be best to leave it to the user to do this. Thoughts?
@Josh1147582 think you could write up a blurb for the wiki?
@axk4545 Have we decided how we are handling this issue? If so, is this able to be closed?
Yeah, I can add instructions to the wiki. I'll go through it myself and write out instructions in the next couple days.
@Josh1147582 think you could work on this after finals?
Yeah, I'll have time Thursday night, hopefully. Sorry about the wait. I still can't pinpoint the GUI laptop issues. Maybe I'm using it wrong, and I need a writeup, lol.
This is definitely still an issue after installing the latest TigerOS on a fresh machine with cinnamon.

Above is a template that I sanitized from the local EDU connect on my laptop this could be a skeleton ifup script for RIT.
@Josh1147582 Please add tutorial when you can as actioned at last meeting.
Replaced with documentation.
Given that the RIT wireless network connection is generated by the connect-rit script on a completed install, how do we want to manage wifi during the install? should we have instructions on the wiki or should we use the script and just copy the config file to the new system after the install or something else? @RITlug/rit-linux-team
