Can netcfg2 connect automatically during startup?

I am manually using "netcfg2 essid" in root to connect everytime upon startup.

This there a way to get netcfg2 to connect automatically upon startup?

put NETWORKS=(wireless) (or whatever your profile name is that you created in /etc/network.d/) in the NETWORKING section of rc.conf. Add net-profiles to the daemon line in rc.conf. Should do the trick.

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Net … es#Connect
Second Line "To have the network be connected on boot, add the profile-name to the NETWORKS=() line in rc.conf, eg: NETWORKS=(home)."
Third Line "Ensure that net-profiles is in your rc.conf DAEMONS=() line."

Done, wireless working perfectly upon boot.

THANKS.
