With a cabled connection it starts at bootup. A wireless connection doesn't. The config tools confirm that it knows the wpa pass-phrase, and manually connecting later does work. It's not a show-stopper but it is a PITA. I believe that for some reason the pass-phrase is not being used at bootup. I presume that wpa-supplicant is the culprit. Maybe we should be filing bug reports, but since it's cross-distro I wonder where? On the various distros so that they can pass it upstream if required?
