Please check your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (where X is your wireless card) and look for "ONBOOT=yes". If that is present, then you likely get automatic connected to the WLAN. Change it to "no" and you are able to active wifi only if you wish by choosing the the preferred wifi network at the NM icon. Please also check if you wired connection is also set to onboot=yes, if not, no interface get started unless you active it manual. -- Regards, Niels > > Mike > -- > > No trees were killed in the sending of this message. > However a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines > -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
