After three independent, structurally different dead ends on the same
test hardware (missing anaconda dracut module, missing wpa_supplicant,
missing iwlwifi, an unexplained DVD hang that persisted even with
Ethernet plugged in), the user decided to move on from Fedora rather
than keep debugging. Not a verdict against Fedora as a backend in
general -- specific to this test hardware and these official media.
The architecture worked out in this ADR (personalized ISO, no network
directives during install, Provisioning Agent handles WLAN/handshake
on first boot) carries over unchanged to Mint/Ubuntu; only the
installer stack changes (Subiquity/autoinstall or Ubiquity/preseed
instead of Anaconda/kickstart).
