Due to the wide variety and technical nature of Linux distributions and networking utilities, it is not possible for us to provide thorough testing or support for Linux devices. If the configuration script fails for you, you may need to use your distro's native networking tools to configure JAX Wireless manually or consider a different operating system for JAX State business.
