[plug] Another interface that wont work on boot

[Adam Hewitt]

Hi All,

I have a wireless network setup at home (which I have briefly posted about
before) and I have a weird problem where if either of the machines reboot I
need to run:

    Iwconfig wlan0 enc off
    iwconfig wlan0 enc s:<encryption key>

And then it will work again...??

Here is the appropriate section of /etc/network/interfaces

iface wlan0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.2
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        wireless_essid <SSID>
        wireless_mode ad-hoc
        wireless_nick "<wireless nick"
        wireless_key s:<wireless key>

This is getting very annoying because I need to keep a monitor connected to
the remote gateway so I can fix this every time...

Any ideas?

Adam.
