* If I check the "Make available to other users" check-box, then NetworkManager DOES automatically connect to my wireless network. However, my understanding is that this is only a workaround, and that in fact NetworkManager should automatically connect when "Connect automatically" is checked and "Make available to other users" is not checked. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
This restricts the connection to a certain user, determined by the connection.permissions property (see `nmcli connection show $NAME` and `man nm-settings`). This makes the connection only available, when a session for that user exists. Is that user logged-in? Did you build NetworkManager yourself? Is session-tracking properly enabled to use systemd-logind or consolekit. Starting NetworkManager with --debug is usually not that useful. The most interesting thing it does is to turn on debug-logging, which you can do otherwise [1]. best, Thomas [1] https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/plain/contrib/fedora/rpm/NetworkManager.conf?id=c90ec2d8c8a12b44c908bf7f80b23059c29f68fa
