A week or so ago I posted the following question:

Is this > possible and if so how does one set this up? ----------------------------------------------------- >From Marc Herbert I received the response Wild guess: did you try to configure it using system-config-network, and then pass it to NM using the ifcfg-rh plugin? http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/SystemSettings --------------------------------------------------------------- I used system-configure-network to re-configure the ifcfg-eth1 file and am using the ifcfg-rh plugin. I got no connection before boot although the ifcfg-eth1 file indicated the ONBOOT=yes option ------------------------------------------------------------------- from Dan Williams I got the comment: You can also move connections between user and system with nm-connection-editor; look for the "Available to all users" checkbox in each connection's edit window. Checking that box makes it a system connection (thus available at boot time) as long as a plugin is enabled that allows writing of system connections. That wiki page should also talk about system settings plugins. Dan ------------------------------------------------------- I tried that. I used nm-connection-editor to edit the entry for the AP I was using. Checked: the "Available to all users" checkbox. Then maybe I made a mistake by clicking activate. The result was the AP disappeared from the list of APs seen in the nm-applet, so that was no good. Would someone just tell me how to activate a wireless connection before logging in with clear instructions I can follow. I assume this is possible -- ======================================================================= Blessed is he who expects no gratitude, for he shall not be disappointed. -- W.C.
