Technically, this is somewhat OT because I've got ubuntu installed on my new netbook at the moment, but since google doesn't have any answers, I'll try asking here...
My netbook has wifi, so I'll need network-manager to use it. But, I don't have wifi at the moment, just wired ethernet. Using nutty narwhale, I keep getting dialogs because network-manager is trying to connect to the several wireless networks it can see. Is there any way to tell it "when I'm at home, do not try to connect to the following networks ..." ? In theory, wifi is turned off via the function key, but in practice, like the brightness keys, on this machine the key appears to work but in practice doesn't do anything. The box came with win7 (as unusable as I had imagined, but with a concept of "location" for network, so that I can tell it "at home, use the wired network"). For the moment, I can live with the extra power consumption of the wifi circuits, but the random invitations to enter access keys for networks after I wake it drive me crazy, and when I *do* have my own wifi I won't want to be prompted to connect to one of my neighbours' systems.
