[Linux-wlan-ng-devel] Bug#429624: linux-wlan-ng: bring USB prism2 wlan device in usable state

[Lee Garrett]

Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.8+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Hello there,
I have a prism2 usb adapter, which isn't in a usable state straight after plugging it in. The problem is, in 
order to work with tools like wireless-tools or NetworkManager, it needs to issue the command
"wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnreq_ifstate ifstate=enable".
I looked through the scripts in the linux-wlan-ng package, and noticed that it only gets issued just 
before ifup'ing the interface (/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/linux-wlan-ng-pre-up).

So the best idea would be to execute said command right after plugging it in. At this point I'm not sure where 
the best place would be. I'd be happy to hear about proposals from your side and will test patches or packages if 
needed.

Kind regards,
Lee Garrett
