So here's the problem: I got my network working reasonably well, except for one glitch, that it automatically connects at startup. I've tried wicd and tdenetworkmanager, as well as the knetworkmanager. Also I've dabbled with pretty much every other network management tool, and nothing changes. I set the manager so that it does not connect automatically (which worked fine for me in Debian Jessie), but now it keeps resetting the configuration, and automatically connects on startup.
After I am up and running, I am able to connect and disconnect with few problems, but this is really annoying.
Is it better to change the configuration file in one of these locations? /etc/network/interfaces /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
Hello Bill,
in case I understood correctly and you don't want to connect to the internet at boot time, have you tried this in "/etc/default/networking"?:
# Set to 'no' to skip interfaces configuration on boot #CONFIGURE_INTERFACES=yes
This is bad idea. It would cause ALL interfaces not to come up at boot, including lo, which can cause some deamons not to start and other to behave weirdly.
Removing auto clause from wlan0 (or whatever you wifi interface name is) in /etc/network/interfaces should be enough for stopping auto connect at startup if you are not also autostarting some gui misconfiguration program.
Yes, I was intending to try those places I mentioned above. This other suggestion was a last resort, and I was sort of thinking the same thing. I only want wlan0 not to connect until I do so manually.
