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

That may be what I was looking for. I overlooked the folder, I suppose, because it had the nondescript name "default" ... but there's a lot of other interesting stuff in there. I might get lost, and may wish to experiment with modifications of some other programs and services.
All the web pages I searched pointed to those other two locations, but they didn't solve the problem. I'll report on my results.
Thanks much!
Bill
