Hello all!

I've installed Devuan Ascii after many years on Debian, and for the most part I like it. The one issue I'm having with it which is spoiling the experience is that when I close the lid on my laptop I have it set to be suspended/go on stand by. I've always done this, and when I open the lid it comes back on and I can get to work again. However, for whatever reason, doing this on Devuan Ascii means that when I log back in to the laptop it doesn't reconnect to the wifi network that I was last using. I only use the laptop at home, so it's only really my home WiFi that I'm connecting to. It also happens when the laptop's been switched off and I boot in to it cold.

So the question is, how do I configure Devuan to reconnect to the wifi automatically? For the record, I have clicked the "automatically connect to this network" in the network configuration. I'm also using XFCE for my window manager if that makes a difference.

Thanks!
