config network-manager
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Bonjour, I know! Network-manager takes care of you and thinks for you and there is no reason why you may want to configure it. Anyway, at home I have my network with cables, switch and server and I *want* to connect my laptop on it but there are so many "free" wifi around than network-manager, without any question, chooses to connect first my computer to the Internet using my neighbour wifi. How can change this and definitely tell network-manager that it can connect to a wifi *only if I ask it to do so!* Thanks for helping. - -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 4286 2145 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkopKJgACgkQdE6C2dhV2JWVTQCfX9HbKsiojdvtLAbQK1/+YN5W Us4AoMNmL9AV1MasR23eVtAuMyHKatBm =mWnP -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Then it will only process your wired connections. Thanks. I have seen this. But everytime I reboot the system, wired and wireless connection are ticked and everytime nm chooses to connect trough wireless Is there somewhere a config file where I can tell nm that the default connection is the wired one. - -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 4286 2145 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkopODcACgkQdE6C2dhV2JWk4ACgv5GVWU1YWHe5EUaknG8Kr4es bcgAn3Ex4rzcqgw0AOnF4jZGULKYh+K4 =Nz8P -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I did this on my main laptop a while back but I can't remember exactly what I did. It may have have something to do with removing the word "auto" in the description. My intention was to be able to connect manually to either one of my two WAP's, without the machine making the choice for me. I know that it was pretty straight-forward to do but again, I can't remember exactly what I did. But it can be done. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

It is probably still a configuration option. (I am not on my laptop, so I can not check it.) Mike -- No trees were killed in the sending of this message.

Please check your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (where X is your wireless card) and look for "ONBOOT=yes". If that is present, then you likely get automatic connected to the WLAN. Change it to "no" and you are able to active wifi only if you wish by choosing the the preferred wifi network at the NM icon. Please also check if you wired connection is also set to onboot=yes, if not, no interface get started unless you active it manual. -- Regards, Niels > > Mike > -- > > No trees were killed in the sending of this message. > However a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@redhat.com > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines > -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
