Thomas Stallinger 3721343ee2 docs: Mint/Ubiquity confirmed working — real WLAN and live anode contact during install

First real success in this whole investigation: Ubiquity's automatic
mode still boots via boot=casper, the same live environment as the
normal interactive session, so it doesn't share Fedora's
installer-vs-live driver split. No hidden second FAT/ESP grub.cfg copy
either, unlike Fedora. Real test on the same notebook (Intel AX210)
connected WLAN via nmcli in ubiquity/success_command and got a genuine
response from anode's /health endpoint during installation.

One follow-up finding: the WLAN connection didn't survive the reboot
into the installed system, likely because nmcli talked to the live
session's own NetworkManager instance (shared /run under chroot)
rather than writing a profile that persists on the target disk --
needs an explicit file write into the chrooted
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ instead.
