2.2.3. Connecting to a Network Automatically
For any connection type you add or configure, you can choose whether you want NetworkManager to try to connect to that network automatically when it is available.
Procedure 2.1. Configuring NetworkManager to Connect to a Network Automatically When Detected
Press the Super key to enter the Activities Overview, type control network and then press Enter. The Network settings tool appears.
Select the network interface from the left-hand-side menu.
Click on the gear wheel icon of a connection profile on the right-hand side menu. If you have only one profile associated with the selected interface the gear wheel icon will be in the lower right-hand-side corner. The Network details window appears.
Select the Identity menu entry on the left. The Network window changes to the identity view.
Select Connect automatically to cause NetworkManager to auto-connect to the connection whenever NetworkManager detects that it is available. Clear the check box if you do not want NetworkManager to connect automatically. If the check box is clear, you will have to select that connection manually in the network applet menu to cause it to connect.
