** Changed in: wpasupplicant (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Triaged
** Description changed:
When configuring a wireless network to use WPA outside Gnome Network-
manager applet, the network will not reconnect after a reboot without a
"/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.
-
- **Workaround : It has been found that renaming the file
- /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules so that udev won't read the rules
- from that file actually solves the problem.
+ Renaming the file /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules so that udev won't
+ read the rules from that file actually solves the problem. It looks like
+ udev starts the network in a way that prevent WPA drivers to load
+ correctly.
