I've got an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG (ipw2100 from memory) running<br>under Ubuntu Dapper Drake, and all is fairly well. I've configured it<br>with /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf (hmm, are there underscores
<br>or not? I can't remember) and /etc/network/interfaces and it works fine.<br>Except when I first boot.<br></blockquote></div>I seem to remember getting similar responses from the intel wireless on my laptop under dapper. The way I worked around it was to change back to the default interfaces file and installed network-manager (which is now the default since edgy - I think the package in dapper days that you need for the nice gui is nm-applet). The advantage of this is that it works off dbus so seems to load and connect at more appropriate times - but the setup I run only connects when I log into gnome (I've never tried an auto-connect at boot - if there is such an option).
