I am not sure why one computer would be different that the other by default, but maybe you set something up differently. Are you using NetworkManager or Wicd or any kind of graphical network configurator or are you determined to do this manually (it's ok if you are) ? | |

| Feb 22, 2015 at 12:15 | comment | added | JJD | @TomHunt ... which means I should do what? | |

If your distro starts wpa_supplicant using systemd in the first place, it might be easier to modify the existing unit file. There are often provisions for options in /etc which the unit file will load automatically, as well.

Improved formatting.

| Feb 19, 2015 at 9:49 | comment | added | JJD | I appreciate your tutorial and would try that. To mention on Ubuntu 14.10 there is no path like /usr/lib/systemd/system, just /usr/lib/systemd. - Apart from that I have a second machine which automatically connects to the network. It also has the configuration file but in /etc/mywired.conf instead /etc/wpa_supplicant/mywired.conf. I do not remember how I wired it up there. | |
