    My debian laptop always reconnects to my wifi automatically

    The only annoying thing is it always asks for a password unless you set it to save the wifi credentials for everyone instead of encrypted.

    I cant remember the exact wording of the option, but its in thr security tab of each wifi network

      I have all those settings enabled. The solution does not lie in the ui buttons. I’ve beat that horse dead. It always asks for a password and always shows that stupid fucking reconnect window that someone has to click. It’s absolutely maddening. I might have to make a system mouse clicker bot for this because there might really be no other way. I don’t know how to do that but considering how much time I’ve wasted trying to find any solution, it’s just another attempt.

      Too bad there’s not a one-time “reconnect now” command that can be attached to a script. And no, disabling the network interface and re enabling it via automated command line scripts doesn’t make it reconnect.
