Would like to enter WPA/WPA2 pass code one time only.
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 9:01 am
Hello,
I'm running LMDE 201204. Each time I boot, I have to put in the WPA/WPA2 pass code to connect to wi-fi. This is the only os I've used that requires me to do this; all others (including other LMDE installs) only require it once. What do I need to do to rectify this?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
