[Debian-eeepc-devel] Bug#487349: eeepc-acpi-scripts: Fails to switch wifi on with wpa_supplicant

[Seesharp]

Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts
Version: 1.0.3
Severity: normal

Hello,

When using wpa_supplicant (in roaming mode), Fn+F2 doesn't fully 
bring 
up the wireless interface.

Here is the relevant part in /etc/network/interfaces:
.
.
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet manual
	wpa-driver wext
	wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
.
.

For the moment I use this (dirty) workaround:

--- /etc/acpi/actions/wireless.sh.save	2008-06-20 
16:48:04.000000000 
+0200
