This is a question for those who have a laptop with a switch that enables or disables the wireless network: Do you have to manually press this button before you want to establish a wireless connection?
Until kernel 2.6.31 I could start my wireless connection at boot without pressing any button. However, since kernel 2.6.32 I have to physically press the button on my laptop and then issue the command that establishes the connection (I use the net-profiles daemon for this). This means that I cannot establish the connection at boot. Various rfkill options (hard, soft, blocked, unblocked, or blacklisting rfkill) do not change this behavior. I was just wondering whether this is normal, and whether this can be avoided?
I use an old laptop that I do not carry around, and it uses the rt2500pci driver. The BIOS does not have any settings that automatically enable wireless.
Thanks!
