Wireless automatic connection

So what happened to the 'connect automatically' option for wireless connectons? In Beta 2 I have to manually connect everytime I power up. That's not an improvement over Beta 1.

Try changing the wireless network type to "private" - that should do it. If you've set it to "public" - as in, connecting to a public hotspot, I don't think it saves the info.

It is private but I still need to manually connect. It tells me that there are wireless connections available but will not automatically connect. In XP and build 5308 there was a box to select that said to connect anytime this connection is found but it is not in this build.
