2008-06-30 23:04:37 Andrew description Binary package hint: ifplugd When enabling the radio switch on my Dell laptop, ifplugd is unable to bring the card up due to it stating that the card with an active radio is unplugged. ifplugstatus output of when the radio is enabled: wlan0: SIOCETHTOOL failed (Operation not supported) SIOCGMIIPHY failed (Operation not permitted) Wireless: unplugged IFF_RUNNING: unplugged SIOCDEVPRIVATE failed (Operation not supported) There does not seem to be a way to have ifplugd bring up the interface The syslog only prints the presence of the hcid (bluetooth) when I turn on the switch (the switch controls both the wireless and the bluetooth support) Is there a way to have ifplugd bring up the interface when it detects that it exists, or am I just mis-configuring my computer?

You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
