    I just installed debian 13.3 from scratch on to a machine, using the official

    I speculate that networking was not configured during this
    installation, and that was fine since you had all the packages you
    wanted on local media.

    When I log in, I find that the networking is not up. I can force it to start by clicking the "Networks" icon in the system tray, and then clicking "Connect". But the next time I boot the machine, I have to log in and do the same again.

    Heh. That sounds ideal to me, but I can understand your contrary
    preference as well.

    How do I force networking to start automatically at boot time (i.e., before I
    log in)? I don't see anything in System Settings that I can set to do this.

    For wired networking, if I were you, I would look at

    $ man 5 interfaces

    nmcli -f name,type,device,autoconnect,active connection show

    There is "Networking" section.
