Perhaps you can point me to some useful documentation on how to get NM up during boot, rather than when I log in as a user -- preferably something that can be fully set up during the upgrade process.
I already documented what I do here https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/support@lists.opensuse.org/message/...
This is unrelated and does not answer the question.
At least the KDE applet defaults to user-specific connections. Also, it is possible that desktop applets default to storing connection secrets (wireless in the first place) in the user secrets store (GNOME keyring, KWallet, whatever). Which of course means these secrets are not available until user logged in. But all of this is the specific behavior of specific frontend that configures NetworkManager connection profile and can be changed. NetworkManager itself has no problem activating any connection at boot as long as all necessary information is available at this point.
NetworkManager does not require any GUI to be used and can be configured by editing connection profile just like wicked can be configured by editing ifcfg files.
Ahh, but if you read correctly you'll notice that I did mention running nmtui as root which will always do this for all users and its simpler then editing any config. But for what its worth the Gnome Configuration Dialog that is also used by xfce and enlightenment gives you the option of user or system, and with the system config that I always use i've never had issues with it storing the secret in a keyring that needs to be unlocked by a user. So maybe its just KDE that really needs to do better here. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
