Re: How to stop wireless autostarting at boot?

There was a patch submitted to the master branch around a month ago. See

I guess it will be in a distribution near you soon :)

Re: How to stop wireless autostarting at boot?

I would like to start with Wireless disabled completely and enable it from
network manager whenever i need it.

Now, i have blacklisted the wireless module (in
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf) and i make a script that executes

modprobe iwlagn

in order to start wireless.

Loading the module makes wireless to start in network manager in my acer
5920g latop.

And i would like to know if there is a simpler and more elegant way to do
this.. maybe using network manager.

Do you want to start with Wireless disabled completely or just not
autoconnect to AP's?

If you edit the profile for your wireless networks you can uncheck
connect automatically to make all networks manual connections.

option or configuration?
