Anyone know how to tell Ubuntu to turn on a network on bootup, before anyone logs in?(Yeah, that's easy.)But the kicker is, it has to be a WiFi network, instead of wired Ethernet.

Phone or desktop?

Either way, you should just be able to pull down the network indicator and select the SSID (and possible enter the password). If it's been authenticated once, it should be remembered and autoconnect on the next boot. I've never had a problem with that, but there's no working around the fact that you have to select the SSID at least once and enter the password (if any) at least once.
