I am also running into this problem in Gutsy Tribe 5. I have a laptop which uses the ipw3945 wireless driver, and i use wpasupplicant through /etc/network/interfaces.
My solution (reached independently) has been to disable the udev rule entirely: sudo mv /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules.bak This rule appears to invoke ifup on the wireless interface too soon, and prevents wpasupplicant from loading properly as defined in /etc/network /pre-up.d/wpasupplicant. -- network has to be started each time system is booted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50099 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
