If you use Intel's wireless daemon, you can't add the network from the iwctl utility and must instead manually create a configuration file with all the details about the network.
Create the following file in <code>/var/lib/iwd/eduroam.8021x</code>:
Type your password, immediately followed by <code>CTRL+D</code> (You may need to press it twice). '''DO NOT PRESS <code>ENTER</code>!''' Pressing enter will mess up the hash, and you will not be able to authenticate to Tech's network with it!
This is of course not advisable for security reasons, but it is technically an option if you cannot get the previous method to work.
==== Getting the certificate (the easy way)
Next, you need Tech's eduroam certificate. You can get it by parsing eduroam's "Configuration Assistant Tool" python script from their website:
If the command returns <code>eduroam.pem: FAILED</code>, proceed to the section below. Otherwise, skip it and proceed to "'''Connecting to eduroam'''".
==== Getting the certificate (the hard way)
Open [https://cat.eduroam.org cat.eduroam.org] in your browser, and navigate through the site until you reach the page to download the configuration script for Michigan Tech.
Now you can proceed to "'''Connecting to eduroam'''".
==== Connecting to eduroam
You should be all good to go! Just connect to eduroam in <code>iwctl</code> and it should take care of the rest for you.

==== Connecting to MichiganTech
You should be all good to go, so try connecting to MichiganTech via <code>nmcli</code>, <code>nmtui</code>, or one of the many NetworkManager GUIs (whichever you prefer)!
Type your password, immediately followed by <code>CTRL+D</code> (You may need to press it twice). '''DO NOT PRESS <code>ENTER</code>!''' Pressing enter will mess up the hash, and you will not be able to authenticate to Tech's network with it!
This is of course not advisable for security reasons, but it is technically an option if you cannot get the previous method to work.
