How to stop wireless autostarting at boot?
I use ubuntu 9.10 and when i boot wireless always starts. Is there a way to disable wireless autostarting using some network manager option or configuration?

Thanks in advance, Panayiotis 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. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
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.

There was a patch submitted to the master branch around a month ago. See here: http://www.mail-archive.com/networkmanager-list@gnome.org/msg14215.html I guess it will be in a distribution near you soon :) Graham 2009/11/20 Panayiotis Mousouliotis pmous...@gmail.com I would like to start with Wireless disabled completely and enable it from network manager whenever i need it.
