I'd like my wifi to stay on after reboot/shutdown & startup, how do I do this? Currently, I have to turn it on everytime I start the system up. I am always near wifi when I turn on my Pandora and would like to connect right away without having to manually toggle it on. Bluetooth already does this.
 
How would you get the connection to stay connected to the current SSID between login/logout sessions? Seems if I'm connected via SSH and I log out of my desktop session my SSH session freezes until I log back in to the desktop. Is it just me or anyone else have this happen?
 
you could disable the network manager, and connect manually (wpa_supplicant or iwconfig depending on your network) using a script in runlevel 3. it would essentially detach your network connection from the user. but it would also make changing network a bit more complicated. not to mention the risk of breaking your boot if you dont know what you are doing.
