auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.2.105 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 gateway 192.168.2.1
On bootup ifconfig shows only the loopback interface while ifconfig -a shows the above values but wla0 is not up. The command ifup wlan0 produces a reponse that wlan0 is already configured. If I then enter the following two commands:
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.2.105 route add default gw 192.168.2.1
the wlan0 interface comes up and the gateway to the internet is open.
As stated above, the interfaces file for the Testing box is identical accept that the address is 192.168.2.104.
I don't understand why Testing comes up on bootup and Woody does not and I don't understand why entering values for the address and gateway which are identical to those in the interface file brings the Woody interface up.
Can anyone help?
