Package: ifupdown Version: 0.6.10 Severity: normal In my /etc/network/interfaces I have the following stanza for 'wlan0':
iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless-essid network (where 'network' is the actual essid of the wlan). This was working correctly until I upgraded ifupdown/wireless-tools around one month ago. I cannot really tell the exact version where the problem was introduced. If I do a 'ifup wlan0', the interface is brought up, and an address is _also_ assigned through dhcp correctly: # ifconfig wlan0 wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:31:97:11:55 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:565789 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:385361 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:717641461 (684.3 MiB) TX bytes:46560245 (44.4 MiB) which is a mistery to me since the association to the 'network' essid is immediately lost afterwards: # iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=27 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off somewhere during the 'ifup' process 'essid' is reset. If I set the essid manually with iwconfig the interface works correctly. wireless-tools is at 30~pre9-4. Any ideas?
