I am familiar with the old Debian way of configuring interfaces with ifup/ifdown and /etc/network/interfaces. I installed a MythBuntu box, and I went through all the configuration stuff. It uses NetworkManager to start up the wireless network card and I configured it for my local access point. The problem is that NetworkManager doesn't start up the wireless connection when something goes wrong with the MythTV configuration.
It seems that the NetworkManager configuration is associated with a particular user account, and it only activates the wireless when the MythTV startup works and the user is automatically logged in. Is there a way to make NetworkManager start up the wireless connection immediately (without waiting for a user login)? I also want the wireless network on and connected to the access point regardless of whether any particular user is logged in. Is this doable?
