We needed to set up WiFi on a notebook with Fedora at York University. The IT staff were steadfastly unhelpful. I'm posting this in case someone else needs to set up WiFi at York. This page is for Students: <http://student.computing.yorku.ca/airyorkplus/#squelch-taas-toggle-shortcode-content-0> In this case, the user was faculty, but the faculty page is less helpful. We looked at how Windows and ChromeOS were configured and did something similar on Fedora. One slightly tricky part was filling in the "CA certificate" field. We ended up using /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/tls-ca-bundle.pem This is the bundle of CA root certificates known to and trusted by Firefox, OpenSSL, and perhaps NSS.
