Bug Description

Ubuntu 8.04

When setting up WPA2 encryption in /etc/network/interfaces by text editor or by Network Manager connection with AP estabishled fine, but after reboot wlan0 interface is not working. Only manual network restarting (sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart) helps to up and configure the interface after booting.

The similar problem is described at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1351902&postcount=2 but a workaround is a dirty hack, IMHO.
