I've seen this behavior before (that you need to manually "enable" the wireless connection), but never on my machines. On my two wireless systems (laptop and desktop), NM enables the connection by default. I don't think I did anything special for this to happen, it just does. > I tried Neil's suggestion to use systemd-networkd and it works perfectly > for this (desktop) machine.
