wlan0 (WPA2) doesn't work when configured manually
- by 71GA
I have been trying to reconfigure my eth0 and wlan0 interfaces by editing /etc/network/interfaces file as folows:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.11
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
dns-nameservers 193.2.1.66
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
dns-nameservers 193.2.1.66
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid lausi
wpa-ap-scan 2
wpa-proto RSN
wpa-pairwise CCMP
wpa-group CCMP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk 8952a447c860d13847ba1cabd15314ba9caf2fb207f19598f90c43fcd43c0d97
But my wireless doesnt work when i use command /etc/init.d/networking restart and when i do this i get an error:
* Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces
* Reconfiguring network interfaces...
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Failed to bring up eth0.

Failed to bring up wlan0.
Although it clearly states that my eth0 interface couldn't be brought to life it is working! But i cant say this for the wlan0 interface which doesn't even work if i unplug internet cable and again use command /etc/init.d/networking restart. This seems weird to me...
When i use ìfconfig -a command i get an output which confirms that wlan0 isnt working and eth0 is.
