How to Get Wireless to Connect Automatically in Sabayon Linux

1:47 PM
There's currently a bug in Sabayon Linux that makes you re-enter your administrator password and network password for your wireless network every time you log in. Not only is this annoying it's a time waster as well. Well, fortunately there's an easy fix to it:

Open up Terminal and issue the following command:

sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf

Once Gedit is open delete everything but the following lines:

[main]
plugins=keyfile

Save it, exit, and reboot. Now your wireless network should connect automatically without asking for a series of passwords.

Wasn't that easy? I told you so. :P

 

Please note this may or may not work on your machine. If it does not work, try the steps below:

In Terminal type:

sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf

Copy and paste the following over the configuration file that opens:

[main]
plugins=ifnet,keyfile

[ifnet]
managed=false
auto_refresh=false

Save, log out and log back in.
