I installed ubuntu-server on my laptop and after that I installed icewm. During the installation I was connected per lan on the net. But now I want to use my wifi on the laptop. After that I installed the network-manager and
I can connect to my router with my wifi. But during the boot process, when everything the pc is doing is written on the screen, I have to wait until 5 minutes to go further. In this time I think he is searching the network connection.
But to wait until 5 minutes is very very long. How can I overcome this problem? I think I should store the wifi connection at all. I can connect after login, that is no the problem.
