Bug Description
Since turning on WPA on my router, my ipw2100 based network interface, appears to be failing OR timing out on DHCP request. I had to manually restart networking to get it to work after boot. I have never had this issue before I switched to WPA on my home network. Anyone noticed the issue or have any solution?.
Here are details.
Version: Ubuntu 2.6.24-
ifconfig after boot:
-------
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
eth1:avahi Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxxxxxxxxxxxx
inet addr:169.254.9.24 Bcast:169.
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Restart networking:
-------
xxx@panther:~$ sudo /etc/init.

ifconfig after network restart:
-------
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxxxxxxxxxxx
inet addr:192.168.1.102 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Update: I figured out the reason... the wpa_supplicant is not ready/up at the time udev tries to activate the network on boot. The simple solution is to disabled the udev ACTION=add rule in /etc/udv/ rules.d/ 85-ifupdown. rules and let the network manager activate the interface instead which works just fine.
