Hi,

I'm currently using KNetwork to manage my networking and it seems OK accept that I need to login before it connects to the wireless network.

Is there a way to get it to run as soon as the computer starts up so that i can connect to nfs/samba shares without having to log in first?

Cheers,

Russell
 
Which distro are you using? (as several have slightly different ways of doing it)

Anyway the most likly method is jsut to make a boot script thats run as part of the boot process.... In Gentoo id do rc-update add wlan0 default (with a config file for wlan0 indicating to dhcpcd of an ip address then sending wpa credentials)

note my Gentoo description is a very lame/innacurate version of what to do but the sort of thing you'll probably be advised to do over the internet....
 
i'm using kubuntu Hardy at the moment.

I was hoping to avoid using bootscripts etc as I often change between networks so would like to be able to quickly add a new network. I was hoping to get knetwork or something similar to do its magic on boot and still let me use the gui tool to configure my network options.
