Well, that does stop it from trying to load wlan0 with ds, but it doesn't cause me to have a functioning wlan0 interface by the time we get to the login prompt. The above conjecture is incorrect anyway, because prism2_cs is successfully loaded *after* all the shenanigans with ds. Interestingly, running my trial-and-error script (pasted below if you need a snicker) after removing the auto declaration doesn't work. So, it only works after trying and failing to bring up wlan0 with ds. (Maybe some necessary routing stuff gets set up via the auto declaration, I don't know..) Here's the script that gets it going: (wish I could ditch it :) #!/bin/sh # # Set things up nice for wlan0. # sudo ifconfig eth0 down sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces.static /etc/network/interfaces sudo ifdown wlan0 >> /dev/null sleep 1 sudo ifup wlan0 >> /dev/null sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces.dhcp /etc/network/interfaces sudo ifdown wlan0 >> /dev/null sleep 1 sudo ifup wlan0 >> /dev/null
