I'd love to make that work, but so far it doesn't for me. I ran xfce4 as |
| 15 |
root, used the nm-applet to configure the wlan0 connection to "Store the |
| 16 |
password for all users" but it didn't stick. Next reboot I had to do it |
| 17 |
all again. |

Question: do you see wpa_supplicant running after bootup? I do, now |
| 20 |
that I created /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. NetworkManager |
| 21 |
has a hook that starts it running if that file exists. (Or maybe dhcpcd |
| 22 |
has the hook, can't remember now. they're both running in the background.) |
