/etc/network/interfaces

[Boohickey11]

This is what is in my /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
#iface eth1 inet dhcp
#pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
#post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
address 192.168.1.50
network 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
wireless-essid Allied Media
wireless-defaultkey 1
wireless-keymode restricted

When I restart none of these properties have been applied to the network device and I have to do it using iwconfig. I used to use wpasupplicant but now use wep. Any idea what the problem might be?

Re: /etc/network/interfaces

See if running /etc/init.d/networking by hand brings up the interface. Also, poke around in /etc/init.d and see if there's a wireless launcher in there. I've got wpa-ifupdown, but I don't have wireless so I can't test.
