Hello, It looks like Debian will only connect to a wireless network when the ethernet cable has been plugged in and unplugged. Both the wired and wireless connections are set to automatically come up - but wireless will not come up and fails to respond to ping unless a ethernet cable has been plugged in.
This even applies if the ethernet cable was plugged into a random network, or a switch with no other ports in use! auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 172.16.0.4 gateway 172.16.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant0.conf address 172.16.0.5 gateway 172.16.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 Thanks! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
