Bug Description

The wifi network is correctly configured and it works. When I restart the
computer, the wifi is not automatically loaded during boot (the computer loop
during a while when it's loading network). Then I must start the wifi with "ifup
ath0" or with the graphical tool "network-admin".

I've found (after litle help from mailing list) a solution that works well.
I've edited /etc/network/interfaces where there are some configuration info for
my network card. Right above the line that says "iface ath0 inet ...", I've
added a line that says "auto ath0".

Now the wifi works fine and is automatically loaded during boot.

But I've found nothing that works in network-admin.
