Hi folks. Dariusz fix worked for me. I reverted my config to failure mode -- while i was connected to the wifi, I did not get an IP address.
Changed the wifi to use wpa-conf (so I had a network to do the upgrade). Upgraded to the ppa Changed the wifi back to using wpa-roam ifdown / ifup -- all good rebooted -- all good. here is my network/interfaces: ======================== # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.
