[plug] wifi badness on startup ubuntu dapper drake

[Paul Antoine]

Hi Greg,

I've noticed this same issue with Feisty on resume from sleep mode on my 
laptop... only one step better functionality than yours.  In the past 
I've had little luck searching for an answer.  Gutsy connects but 
doesn't tell you it has... LOL

Our router is DD-WRT running on an old PIII PC.

Anyone else got a lead, or more of a google-guru than I?
