I just realized that at least a couple of my e-mails were sent directly to peoples' personal e-mail addresses because I was replying in the wrong way. I'm so savvy! Sorry about that, Susan (and also at least one to Cory, and who knows who else). So, anyway, I'll repost this, the correct way: Hmm, not sure what you're talking about here. My wireless was setup during the install process of Ubuntu Studio. I remember thinking that it was cool that I just entered the password for my network, and Ubuntu Studio found the network (of many in the area) without prompting me for the name. It now starts up automatically whenever I boot up. I suppose this does count as 'activating consciously', but if by that you mean just enter your password, then you always have to do that, even in regular Ubuntu.
