I have this problem too, still not resolved. I'm on Gutsy with all updates, using WPA through the network-manager with a static IP. I have no error message in dmesg about WPA but the network isn't active at reboot, I have to do a /etc/init.d/networking restart to make it works.
My /etc/network/interfaces look like this : auto eth3 iface eth3 inet static address 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 wpa-psk ac22b218cf97263ef58887a86f9e32605bd638017a9c4dacd8d80e8f6bd07696 wpa-driver wext wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK wpa-proto WPA wpa-ssid strangebanality When doing a /etc/init.d/networking restart, I get this in dmesg but nothing more : [ 231.332000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth3: link is not ready [ 231.392000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth3: link becomes ready [ 232.480000] ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'TKIP' Is it really a boot order problem? -- Boot order problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53387 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
