Some questions and some considerations. I was wondering what happens if 85-ifupdown.rules is removed. I believe /etc/init.d/networking would still do its job and networking would work fine. If a card is removed (or added) udev wouldn't care (dinamically) about the removal (or addiction), am I wrong? But, if I understood correctly how udev work, a reboot would allow udev to get the change in the interfaces. So if this is the case I believe it should not be a problem to remove 85-ifupdown.rules, I think the number of users that remove or add cards is lower than the number of those who need a static IP for wireless and however a reboot should make everything working.
However, NM 0.7 should solve the problem by allowing system wide settings. -- wpasupplicant doesn't start when the network start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44194 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
