Re: [Question #76325]: Why is my wireless adapter not automatically activating on login?

 

Question #76325 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76325

    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
run:

gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces &

and add the line:

auto wlan4

You can check it IS wlan4 by running:

ifconfig

If it isn't wlan4, change the line I gave to suit. Then save the file
and close gedit. The adapter should now come up automagically

If not, you can alays make a script:

#!/bin/sh
ifup wlan4


Which you can then add to the last rc level (so we know all drivers and whatnot are loaded)

Its a bit hacky but works, the intrfaces file is much more graceful.
