No Wi-Fi after system reboot
- by ILya
Something strange is happening...
I've installed a Wi-Fi card into my Ubuntu Server 11.04 machine.
To configure it I do the following:
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
add:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid "Sweet Home"
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-proto WPA
wpa-pairwise TKIP
wpa-group TKIP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk <A KEY>
auto wlan0
then:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
* Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces
* Reconfiguring network interfaces... ssh stop/waiting
ssh start/running, process 1522
ssh stop/waiting
ssh start/running, process 1590
And my machine successfully gets an ip to my wireless adapter.
But after reboot it doesn't get any ip in wireless network. To fix it I run /etc/init.d/networking restart again and all is fine again - it gets an ip.
I understand that I simply should add it to my startup scripts to make it work properly, but maybe there is a better way to configure it?
