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.
Oh, I didn't know that, it was just a guess. I should have said that I hadn't tried that out.
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.
Thank you, Stefan
Not to worry. I am usually pretty cautious; and if I screw up something based on other people's suggestions, it is only lost time, as I always back up everything.
