Description

When migrating to Tails/Wheezy a Tails/Squeeze with NM persistence enabled, one “loses” their persistent networks. I think that’s acceptable. What is not acceptable is that if one then re-creates their network, and reboots, their settings are lost: we keep persisting the old location, but don’t start persisting the new one.

When the /home/amnesia/.gconf/system/networking/connections persistence preset is enabled, live-persist should automatically make /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections persistent.

I think it’s ok to forget the persistent networks, as long as it’s in the known issues for the release.

Just tested, disabling pre-Wheezy NM persistence setting works fine for me.
