Set WLAN off on boot

Hi!

I use the Networkmanager to connect my laptop to networks. At home, I'm normally connected via a wired connection. So I would like the WLAN to be switched of by default on boot. I did not found anything in the wiki or @google. Could somebody tell me?

Thanks,
iscream

Re: Set WLAN off on boot

By using netcfg, you could easily use POST_UP="" and POST_DOWN="" inside your wired profile.

as a command, you could use 'rfkill (un)block wlan0' (presuming wlan0 is your wireless device)

I don't know how to do this with networkmanager...
