airport in /etc/network/interfaces

[christophe =?unknown-8bit?q?barb=E9?= <christophe@cattlegrid.net>]

Hi again,

'modprobe airport' seems to work.
So I try to connect to my base station with the following lines in my
/etc/network/interfaces file :

iface eth1 inet dhcp
        wireless_essid abcd
        wireless_key s:efgh

where abcd is the network name provided by the airport base and efgh is
the password I use under macos-x for this network.

But then

# ifup eth1

Listening on LPF/eth1/00:30:65:09:e4:d1
Sending on   LPF/eth1/00:30:65:09:e4:d1
Sending on   Socket/fallback/fallback-net

DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8

and so on ...

Any ideas ?
