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?)
I guess that's what that "Available to all users" checkbox in nm-connection-editor is for? (Never tried it, but it certainly looks like "make the connection stored in system-wide storage")
- network available to boot scripts (ntpd has a "nice" timeout at boot if the network/internet is not reachable)
ntpd simply needs a trigger on "network up" event. I did this with a dispatcher script.
- 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)
Complain to the KMail developers if it does not honor network state notifications. Claws-Mail and pidgin go offline if my connection is offline and don't bother me with errors.
What do you think about this idea?
