Bug#431657: automatic wlan connection at bootprocess on Etch only on second try
Package: ipw3945d
Version: 1.7.22-4
Debian release: 4.0
Hardware: Dell Inspiron 6400
Hi,
my WLAN connection starts only at the second try.
Etch-nb:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.mynet.conf
The first try never works:

To get the second try working I added this line
/etc/init.d/networking restart
to /etc/rc.local
If I modify /etc/network/interfaces this way:
iface eth2 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.mynet.conf
#auto eth2
and /etc/rc.local:
Etch-nb:~# cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
ifup --verbose eth2
exit 0
my WLAN connects at the first try
without any errors.

I think my solution is only a workaround and there must be a problem in the boot sequence of Etch belonging to ipw3945d.
I didn't change anything on the standard Etch boot sequence after installation.
