ubuntu: wlan doesn't start automatically

[Mathieu Poirier]

In the latest ubuntu distro the files under /etc/ needed to get wlan started automatically have not been ported. These have once lived in one of the ppa available on igloo.

This problem is about starting the BT stack automatically rather than dealing with the issues encountered when starting the stack.

Is this bug about snowball-init?

  http://www.igloocommunity.org/gitweb/?p=bsp/snowball-init.git

And what is "latest ubuntu distro", and what is the porting needed for it?

Currently with the new kernel in PPA's the snowball-init doesn't work as it tries to load the multi gadget driver which was required to enable host mode, this is not needed (nor working) with the new kernel.

If that's what this bug is about, then I understand at least that part :)

Could this one be related to #923984 Snowball WLAN doesn't work out of the box in ubuntu (https://bugs.launchpad.net/igloocommunity/+bug/923984)?

[Mathieu Poirier (mathieu.poirier-deactivatedaccount)]

Yes exactly, the 'snowball' and 'snowball.conf' found under
bsp/snowball-init.git.

By latest I meant the newest load on snapshot [1].

Ok, so what needs to be done is remove the usb hack and while we are at it make the script run earlier in the boot as now it is tied to the display manager (for hysterical raisins) without valid reason to do so.

For the record, fixing this does not fix bug 924561 in my experience.

Is there anything else that needs changing?

The init scripts are now fixed to not load the gadget driver, and to start earlier. Package pushed to PPA.
