I think you might be right about network-manager, but that isn't the real problem.
I've done some poking around with wrapper scripts and extra logging etc and it appears that when the network is brought up at boot by "auto" it skips the pre-up phase which is where wpa_supplicant gets started. It does run the post-up. If I run ifup manually later on (including ifup -a) the pre-up phase does get run as well as post-up. -- wpa_supplicant doesn't work in "managed mode" in Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/91477 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
