That might be or might not be feasible, depending on the reason why it fails. The change I've introduced delays the configuration of networking until the netbase init script is run. I fail to see what the problem is with that approach. > Could the wpa_supplicant ifupdown script be run in debugging mode (set > -x) to figure out why it fails? sure, just put set -x at bootup! > I've also reverted the udev rules change to wait for the networking init > script to have run.

Instead of unilaterarily reverting the change I committed ages ago, it would have been more appropriate to first discuss the symptoms in a bug instead of just removing a fix that has been sufficiently tested. I consider your revert as a violation of the CoC, points 2 and 4. The more correct fix IMO would be to to change the udev rule to flag the interfaces that need "delayed" starting via the init script and "late-start" them in /etc/init.d/networking. Still you haven't explained what exatly fails. Is it hot-plugging cardbus cards? Or is it starting networking for NICs connected via PCI? Please elaborate on this issue. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- wpasupplicant doesn't start when the network start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44194 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
