Comment 7 for bug 53387

Having same issue - ubuntu feisty - with the following /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
        ssid="daintylink"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=NONE
        wep_key0={wep key}
        wep_tx_keyidx=0
        priority=999
        auth_alg=SHARED
 }

network={
        ssid="airplus"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=NONE
        wep_key0={wep key}
        wep_tx_keyidx=0
        priority=998
        auth_alg=SHARED
 }

And the followng entry in /etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
pre-up /sbin/wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
post-down /usr/bin/killall -q wpa_supplicant

Again - /etc/init.d/networking restart works... but reboot.. wpa_supplicant and dhclient get launched but interface does not come up!
