I have just set up an Ubuntu machine for my mother-in-law and configured
it to connect to the BT HomeHub thingy.
For some reason the wireless interface will not automatically connect
after a reboot, and I need to issue the command ´sudo
/etc/init.d/networking restart´, whereupon it connects immediately.
The relevant entry in /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:
auto wlan1
iface wlan1 inet dhcp
wireless-key xxxxxxxxxx
wireless-essid xxxxxxxxxx
eth0 is defined but completely commented out as this interface is unused.
Any thoughts on how I can make the wireless connection active on boot
without the manual intervention?
Cheers,
Sean
