-> initscripts Also as a note, even if the 'network' service doesn't set the card up, many Linux drivers automatically connect to open networks by default. So it's not just a distro thing, it's also a kernel driver thing. This was fixed in an update to Fedora 8; initial wireless device configuration no longer configures devices to be brought up by default. Of course, if they have already been configured that way (such as in the Fedora 7 installer), they will still be enabled by default. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 374281 *** |
