It is a boot order problem. I reported it a month ago, or so. Debian is trying to start WiFi before the USB interface is fully up, therefore it fails.
If you wait until after the USB interface is fully up and running, you can manually start the WiFi. Or, write a systemd service to start it automatically. I found waiting until 30 seconds after the start of boot worked fine, to have systemd start WiFi successfully. --- Graham == On Thursday, March 19, 2015 at 11:06:22 AM UTC-5, Nathaniel Johnson wrote: > > > I have been trying to get wifi to work on the latest debian image.
