Cloaked School    # This script helps the XOs associate to a
                    # School Wifi configuration equipped with a cloaked AP, and in the NYC deployment. 
                    # At boot it checks whether the AP is available, and switches between Home and School mode.
                    # In School mode, it disables NM, and associates to the AP manually.
                    # The XO will still be able to collaborate if a Jabber server is available.
