Introduction

When working with X bugs it is sometimes not possible to log in to the desktop environment - GNOME or KDE. By default wireless networking setup is a part of the desktop environment. Debugging X often requires network access, so this means that normally a wired network connection is required when X isn't starting.

This page describes how to set up your system so that a wireless connection is available without needing to log in to the desktop.

NetworkManager

GNOME

ConnMan

For Maverick, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition images plan to use network-indicator and ConnMan. Currently there is no GUI support for setting up system-wide network connections.
