Hi!
Using the following wifi configuration within my /etc/network/interfaces
file fails.
...
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.10.2
netmask 255.0.0.0
network 192.168.10.255
gateway 192.168.10.1
wireless-mode managed
wireless-essid TSP
wireless-key AC45FE23ED3EDF51A78CDE45F1
dns-nameservers 192.168.10.100
dns-search thorpesystems.local
The only related message I seem to be able to find in /var/log/dmesg is
this....
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
After doing 'ifup wlan0', what is the result of 'ifconfig wlan0' and
'iwconfig wlan0'?
Tony.

Thanks for taking a look Celejar,
The following output is when I've started the machine without the script
in /etc/rc.local.

Note, If I restart the machine after placing my script in /etc/rc.local
this is the outcome.

Also note that this doesn't seem to work when I simply call the script
in /etc/rc.local directly then try to ifup wlan0, I need to actually
restart the machine for it to take effect.
Thanks,
Tony.
