To avoid race conditions a config like the one below is recommended: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual bond-master bond0
iface wlan1 inet manual bond-master bond0 bond-give-a-chance 10 wpa-bridge bond0 wpa-ssid ASUS wpa-psk **** wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK wpa-group CCMP TKIP auto bond0 iface bond0 inet dhcp bond-slaves none bond-mode 1 bond-miimon 100 I still doubt this will work though as your bond is configured to use eth0 as a primary, meaning that it'll clone the mac of eth0 that will then be rejected by your wireless access point and likely confuse wpa_supplicant. ** Changed in: ifenslave-2.6 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/515315 Title: WiFi/ethernet bonding config fails to launch wpa_supplicant To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifenslave-2.6/+bug/515315/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
