Public bug reported: Everything seems to work correctly when I set up the network but when I reboot and log into gdm, my networking will not work until I run '/etc/init.d/networking restart'.
I moved over to nw-manager for the time being. I set up /etc/network/interfaces with this type of configuration for ath0 iface ath0 auto iface ath0 inet dhcp wpa-driver madwifi wpa-ssid homezone wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK wpa-psk "quoted passphrase" # wpa-psk 0001231203 I didn't have time to try out the wpa-conf method but I did try wpa-psk in passphrase and hexidecimal mode with identical results. The only thing I can think of is trying to use pre-up commands to start wpasupplicant before it does dhcp. ** Affects: wpasupplicant (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Boot order problem https://launchpad.net/bugs/53387 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
