Fire up the nm-connection-editor before you reboot, Find the connection under the wireless tab, tick both "Connect automatically" and "Available to all users". This creates a file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, forcing NM to bring up the connection on boot, before the UI loads and should be available in both Sugar and Gnome. You don't need to go into gnome to run the tool, in terminal: nm-connection-editor If you could send me the resulting ifcfg file from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, I'd be grateful for the example.
