Wifi network connection not automatically starting
by resolver from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55EQM)
Hi all,
I installed Slackware ARM on the Rpi4, and I have a conundrum:
The network connection doesn't start automatically even though the info is in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections.
As a result, I can't obtain the time and DNS doesn't work.
When I log in as any user and start X, the connection starts but the network time isn't fetched.
So I have to log in as root, run ntpdate and get the time.
Then go back to X and use it.
Question: Is it expected that the Wifi won't automatically start during boot-up? I don't have Ethernet to connect to.
