Thus, Ethernet was used to install OS updates and download wireless drivers. The Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter did not work, but a Linksys USB adapter (model USB3GIGV1) was recognized. Unfortunately, the default installation of many Linux distributions don't have the correct wireless driver, so the user is left with no way to connect to the network after installation. The MacBook Air has no built-in Ethernet, only wireless. While this is not a general recipe, it may be useful for inspiration of what to try. This section is very specific to the hardware used. The process described here is for a MacBook Air running the Elementary Linux distribution version 5.1 (based on the Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS distribution). This document is an attempt at providing a streamlined recipe for a self-supported Mac running Linux. SLAC has some pages on installing antivirus and An圜onnect, but they are somewhat distributed, and are mostly focused on systems that are SLAC supported Windows and SLAC supported MacOS. In addition, Cisco's An圜onnect Secure Mobility Client VPN software must be used so that the status of antivirus can be reported to the SLAC VPN ASA's.

SLAC's VPN uses posture checking to enforce that antivirus software is installed and that antivirus updates are current.
