Kubuntu 23.10 connects to wifi, but only after all other startup programs have run.

I’m just curious as to why that is. And what controls this startup behavior.

I’ve had to change some startup scripts for rclone, to wait until a network connection is present before starting. Other than that it’s not a problem.

    I remember having to go out of my way to get an Ubuntu machine to connect to WiFi before login for this reason. It felt strange to have to do that at first, but it’s also reassuring that the machine isn’t by default connecting to a wireless network without user input first unless I give it explicit instructions to do so.

      I actually like that. Have to put in the password on fist boot before network will connect to wifi.
