I am fine with running wifi-radar after I log into gnome. When I boot,
I get held up at network interfaces. Is there a way to speed this up? 



The question is: Is there a way to start the hardware initializing
without it trying to start a network connection? Since I am most likely
going to be using wifi-radar to connect to my various WAPs manually.



I rarely plug my laptop into a hard line network, I would like the
option to, but don't need it trying to find connection at boot. 



Does any of this make sense or have I lost my mind?

I couldn't get this to work properly. It froze my system.
