i was able to solve it in my deblet installation by modifying /etc/init.d/tablet-wireless. i added the following line to the end of the tablet_setup() function so it now looks like: Code: # ifconfig wlan0 up - was for network-manager /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up } it worked on my deblet lxde installation right after the first boot. please let me know if you need assistance modifying this file
# ifconfig wlan0 up - was for network-manager /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up }
