I found this at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-
source-2.6.20/+bug/37120
Syntax to manually configure in /etc/network/interfaces
iface ra0 inet dhcp
pre-up ifconfig ra0 up
pre-up ifconfig ra0 down
pre-up ifconfig ra0 up
pre-up ifconfig ra0 down
pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "MyRouterName"
pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode Managed
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=TKIP
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="MySecretPassword
pre-up ifconfig ra0 up
auto ra0
Since I am only using WEP, modified to:
iface ra0 inet dhcp
pre-up ifconfig ra0 up
pre-up ifconfig ra0 down
pre-up ifconfig ra0 up
pre-up ifconfig ra0 down
pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "MyRouterName"
pre-up iwconfig ra0 key "MyKeyInHex"
pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode Managed
pre-up ifconfig ra0 up
auto ra0
Now I have wireless connectivity which survives a reboot.
