Notes and Observations:
Default installation results in failed GUI settings (xserver). During installation of RedHat, the initial screen provides a "boot:" prompt for installation settings. Enter the install option: "linux xdriver=vesa" for GUI support.
To Get the Intel® 6000 series adapter to work, the firmware code needs to be extracted to /lib/firmware/. The iwlwifi driver and mac80211 driver are not required to be updated to make this work. After extracting the firmware reboot the system.
