Public bug reported:
After configuring network-admin with a WEP ASCII key, I found that I had
to manually run "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && sudo dhclient wlan0" in order
to get my network working. So I checked my /etc/network/interfaces.
Found this:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth1
#iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth2
#iface eth2 inet dhcp
auto ath0
#iface ath0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet ipv4ll
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-key s:XXXXXXXXXXXXX
wireless-essid xxxxxx
Notice how it's missing "auto wlan0". So I changed the wireless block to:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-key1 s:XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
wireless-essid xxxxxxx
wireless-keymode open
And then I ran sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart. Now it works. But I
had to manually edit the /etc/network/interfaces file for it to work.
