Comment 156 for bug 182716

I repeated the tests with unloading/reloading the driver via modbprobe, and same thing as before: when the wireless tries to attach to the correspodent SSID for the first time after the driver reload, it doesn't succeed (it stops in "stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) complete" in the syslog.

If i try to force a reconnect to the same ssid or enable/disable the wireless via knetworkmanager, it always gets stuck at that stage 2 of 5.
But if I do that ifconfig down/up, then the next time I force a reconnect through knetworkmanager, it goes fine.

As for having the wireless running after reboot, I meant that it's actually up by default (as in openSUSE as you said), but it never goes after that "stage 2". I have to get it up manually. Not an Ubuntu issue (I guess). I think I'll end up scripting something with ifconfig/iwconfig.
