Ntp & Other Internet Programs On Wireless Networks

Working with NTP and other internet based programs is a bit of a nuisance over a wireless network. NTP checks for internet during boot, yet wireless connects after user/auto login. Other programs, like kontact, have the same issue. It there anyway to connect to a wireless connection before NTP, and other programs request internet connectivity? Alternately, is there a way to delay these internet requests until after the wireless connection is established?

Again, this is only a nuisance. I can always just execute NTP after I login, as well as connect to other programs. Note that "openSuSE Updater" works great, in either a wired or wireless network.

Thank you in advance.

i've only seen this when using network manager, if you are using this,try switching to traditional ifup. might work

p.s. moved to wireless section,as it is a network/wireless problem

Try adding this line:

rcntp start

To the boot initializator script file ( :blink: ) at /etc/init.d/boot.local
