Yes, that's one of the reasons why I don't like NM :-( Would it be possible to "cache" the last used connection and (try to) use this connection again at the next boot, even if nobody is logged in yet? (And also not to disconnect after logout?) IMHO this would improve the situation for several reasons: - network available to boot scripts (ntpd has a "nice" timeout at boot if the network/internet is not reachable) - network is available for sure when the user logs in (think of KMail in autostart, and having it configured to fetch mails at startup - with NM this can be a nice race condition) The only disadvantage I can think of is that the computer could be connected to the "wrong" network until someone logs in - but I doubt this is a problem in reallife because it would basically be the same if the previous user was still logged in ;-) If another user with different network settings logs in, closing down the cached connection and connecting to "his" network isn't really hard.
