Package: wireless-tools
Version: 30~pre9-2
Severity: important
I saw that you move conffile from pre-up.d to up.d. Your justification is
that some (most ?) drivers need the interface to be up to do the settings.
You cannot do that: ifup.d scripts are executed when the interface has already
its IP. However, wireless settings (WEP, ESSID, ...) are required *before*
dhcp (dhcp3-client in my case) is run, ie *before* the IP is set.
So, I think you must revert to the settings (scripts in pre-up.d and not in
up.d). For network cards requiring the interface to be up, there are two
possibility:
- the user add a line in its stanza in /e/n/i:
pre-up ifconfig $IFACE up
- you add such a line in your pre-up.d script (here, you might wish to
do that only if the interface is not already up AND if you have to do some
settings so that you do not conflict with other kind of interface setup.
You might also want to offer a option so the user can explicitely decide
if he wants its interface set up or not)
For other users hit by this bug, a simple workaround is to make a symlink
from up.d/wireless to pre-up.d/wireless
[it means you will have to deals with such kind of local config when you
restore the old behavior]
Regards,
Vincent

Closes: 544883 552093 558221 558476
Changes:
wireless-tools (30~pre9-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Move (correctly) the scripts back to pre-up and post-down, since the
wireless parameters must be fully configured before we can acquire an
address through DHCP. Closes: #558476, #558221, #552093, #544883
* Try to deal with the wireless driver madness by trying to configure all
parameters before the interface is brought up, remembering which parameters
failed to be set, and retrying those after bringing up the interface in the
pre-up script.
