Ubuntu 8.04 - use Wireless as default network connection

feenster99 · 10 Jun 2008 at 23:15

Hi all,
Fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04.

On booting, it defaults to using the Wired connection. Is there any way to make it use a specific SSID wireless as the default, so it auto-connects on boot? At the moment, i have to manually pick the SSID from the tray icon to make it connect.

Yeah, not sure what's going on. Will enquire over on the Ubuntu Forums

Thanks matey, i'll try it. Would have thought the GUI tools would have had this in place - weird...
