Well, I didn't exactly solve the problem, but I found a workaround which
at least gives me an automatic wireless connection when I log on.
First, I changed to using a static address in
/etc/networking/interfaces:
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.8
netmask 255.255.255.0
wireless-mode managed
wireless-essid My-Essid
I still needed to run ifup eth1, ifdown eth1, ifup eth1, but now I can
put this in /etc/rc.local:
ifup eth1
sleep 4
ifdown eth1
ifup eth1
Not very elegant, but at least it works.
