Why TinkerOS does not connect to known wifi network automatically? I set "auto connect" in the applet but it still wait until I manually set desired wifi network. I would like to auto connect to wifi without any X session. Would it be possible?

UPDATE: this page helped https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager and toggle 'for all users' in the applet settings

Hi vlat.

http://www.iiot.co.za is building a free menu to automate networking and storage configurations for the tinkerboard which they will be releasing soon.
What you are looking for is a headless install and connection to a wifi network using wpa_supplicant, we have sucessfuly built and just doing final testing.
