As the title suggests, I have always had problems whatever puppy I have been in for it to automatically connect (on startup) to the previously setup wifi where Frisbee and/or Network Wizard had been used & saved.
There are 4 laptops in the house, all have various pups 'frugally' installed, and all connect to the wifi internet but not automatically at boot. This problem also goes on with Barry's Quirkies and EasyLinux. The family is starting to hate on me and wanting the pup OSes off the laptops because of this. They want to turn on the laptops and be wifi connected then, with the already previously saved wifi connection they used just a few hours ago....but no, everytime a person is forced to jump thru clicking & waiting hoops. I agree with them this is wrong.
At every boot, for any pup I have tried, despite the wifi profile being used & previously 'Saved' during other bootups, the user is forced all over again to click on tray icon, go into 'setup networking", choose the 'wlan0' connection over the un-connected 'eht0', then incredibly the next box that popups is the wifi connection profile, where you are forced to hit "LOAD", then "USE THIS PROFILE" (again, which was already previously saved during previous boots), and then maddeningly the next box that pops up (if it doesn't connect, you've got to again hit "Auto DHCP".
These puppys are Slackos, Xenials, and Tahrs. Why can none of them automatically connect to the saved and exisiting wifi profile in their collective savefiles just like they do to the saved eth0 (when they are actually plugged into an eth0)

What am I doing wrong? Or what can I do to overcome this problem?? To make the pups autorecognize at boot that eth0 is disconnected, wlan0 is working and thus connect to it using the already saved wifi profile??
P.S. Note: please do not write an answer telling me how to setup and get wifi working. That is already done,and is not the issue here. What I need/want is a puppy, any puppy, to automatically@boot connect to the existing wifi profile that's already been, through previous boots, setup and saved in it. Thanks.
