So if you never pick the network from the menu, NM will never automatically connect to it.
Dan, are you sure that is the case? If you for example create a new connection with autoconnect=yes, it will start autoconnecting right away. Thomas
But this would be a good thing, if the administrator could deploy network-configurations and say: "autoconnect to these networks, if available". We deploy several networks preconfigured and that would be very useful. Is there a deeper design-decision behind not doing it? It is not used as an safety-mechanism, but as an convenience mechanism, that the user does not has to decide or manually interact with the network configuration. Dennis
