[SOLVED] want to start either wifi or ether at boot for all users

I've just installed arch x64 on my Acer Aspire 5720ZG laptop and need to get networking setup so that it starts automatically with a choice of either wired or wireless, for all users.

Currently I have only managed to get wifi to start with NetworkManager once xfce has started and only for root.

Look at netcfg, with the net-auto-wired and net-auto-wireless daemons.

You genius, netcfg was the answer
