Network unavailable without desktop
Hi all,
I normally run my wheezy laptop under KDE, and the network management is
provided by NetworkManager. This generally works fine.
However, When I log off the KDE session, the wireless network shuts down
(Wired network keeps going). I suspect the wpa passwords become
unavailable without the desktop, but this is pure guesswork.
This presents a problem for overnight Cron scripts which need to contact
a remote server.
Should I abandon NetworkManageri in favour of the old ifup/ifdown and
wpa-supplicant, or can I fix NetworkManager somehow?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Tony
