Go to the network settings, and set the wireless connection as "shared |
| 24 |
with other users". Then it will appear in |
| 25 |
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If you don't want to share the connection with other users, do something like |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
find $HOME/.config -name "*ESSID*" |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
where ESSID is the ESSID you are interested in. The prefix '*' is |
| 32 |
because a while ago NM added the name "Auto" to all wireless networks |
| 33 |
that were set to automatically connect. If ~/.config does not work, |
| 34 |
use ~/.local (I don't have my laptop with me, so I cannot check which |
| 35 |
one it is). |
