Not really — Ethernet connects automatically, and Wireless will do so as well, if your credentials are saved across reboot. These are NetworkManager's defaults. Disclaimer: the statement above should not be construed as a suggestion for a 50-emails-long serious discussion on tails-dev ML wrt. proper NetworkManager default settings. In case Tails developers are nevertheless compelled to discuss NetworkManager, I instead suggest the exciting topic of: “Why launching user applications like Iceweasel and Vidalia from NetworkManager events dispatcher via su is wrong, and how can we do it right.” By the way, in Debian one can just blacklist the relevant modules via boot parameters. E.g., "virtio_net.blacklist=yes". http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s03.html -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte -- Liberationtech is a public list whose archives are searchable on Google.
