Interesting. I thought even networking didn't come up after a cold boot on a system with FileVault until there was a local login, which is a big reason I do not enable FileVault on my office workstation. I guess this has been changed on Tahoe too?


Networking always comes up after cold boot, but WiFi passwords are stored on the encrypted volume. So, it depends on whether you use WiFi!


One network will get stored on NVRAM, I think it’s probably whatever the first one you connect to is.


And also depends on your using DHCP?


I guess it is need, so that the IT department may revoke keys remotely.
