** Description changed: I have set-up a bridge (br0) on eth0 of my laptop, as I'm using KVM from time to time. This is the content of /etc/network/interfaces: aaa@xxx:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 bridge_stp off bridge_fd 0 bridge_maxwait 0 My problem is, if I boot WITHOUT a live connection plugged into the ethernet port of my laptop, NetworkManager sees my WiFi as "disabled by a hardware switch". As such, I can't use WiFi when there's no LAN. I can use WiFi when there's a LAN connection present, but it defeats the purpose of having a WiFi connection.
