Wireless autoconnect

Hello everyone,

i would like to autoconnect to a wireless connection after boot (with autologin enabled).

I haven't found a way to do so, could someone please help me?

Thank you in advance.

Re: Wireless autoconnect

The normal way to do this is:-
Click the network manager icon
Select the wifi network
Go through the connection wizard adding password as required - then 'Next' until you get to the check box that allows you to Automatically Connect and then click Connect and Save
However there are situations where this does not work and each time you log in you have to click the network icon, select Deactivate Connection>Enable Wireless and then it works. This is an issue I am trying to resolve - it seems to be kernel 3.16 specific.
Hope this helps

Try to remove all wireless connections, reboot and add them once more with 'autoconnect' checkbox checked. It should permanently save 'autoconnect' option.
