Always start NetworkManager after laptop boot with WiFi and WWAN disabled

  • 772

How to make Network managers always start (after laptop boot) with WiFi and WWAN disabled?

I prefer to always enable them manually after laptop boot for security and connection cost control reasons.

Extra info:

  1. Disabling auto-connect is not a valid option in my case as WWAN (LTE) connection is unstable (breaks too frequently) See https://serverfault.com/a/1112325/163277

  1. Set connection.autoconnect property to no for the relevant connections using nmcli, i.e.:

    nmcli conn mod <conn-name-or-uuid> connection.autoconnect no
