    Wireless doesn't auto start.(Solved)

    Not a major problem, HH is mostly running fine for me on my Laptop.
    HP DV1000
    1.6 Ghz Intel Celeron
    512 mb

    But my wireless no longer automatically starts up when I boot. It was working fine in GG. I used the "Update Manager".

    The wireless (Broadcom) works fine, but I have to run
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/networking restart
    at the beginning of each session.

    My usual approach to small problems like this when dealing with an Alpha release is to wait. Just run update everyday and the problem will probably be fixed. But I thought, if someone else has already discovered the fix, I would give it a try.

    This is my "interfaces" file.

    auto lo
    address 127.0.0.1
    netmask 255.0.0.0

    auto eth0
    #iface eth0 inet dhcp

    auto wlan0
    iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wireless-essid
    wireless-key **********

    As I look at that, I think I will comment out the auto eth0 line and reboot. Maybe it is trying to use that in the boot process. Also going to edit menu.lst so I can get the verbose boot up to see if there are any errors. I'll let you know.

    Nope didn't work, still have to start the network from the CLI. Interesting, if I run ifconfig, it shows it has an IP address, but I have no connectivity and am unable to ping anything until I restart the network.

      Not sure what I did to fix it, but it worked fine this morning.
