Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ifupdown
I upgraded a server to karmic to get ath5k AP ability.
/usr is a separate filesystem (on LVM)
If I put the following in /etc/network/interfaces, I get a boot hang
immediatly after the execution of upstart at the end of the initrd
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 10.42.42.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Commenting out auto and manually bringing up the interface after boot
allows it to boot cleanly.
