Bug Description
Wireless nic does not get started correctly at boot. The interface is started according to ifconfig and has an ip set (static ip) but no connection. No gateway is to be found in the kernel routing table either.
If I put the interface down with ifdown I get the following error message:
"SIOCDELRT: No such process"
Afterwards I can start and stop the interface repeatedly and it works flawless and without any error messages.
I don't know whether it is the delay caused by the process of loading the ipw2100 firmware that prevents the networking service to start the wireless interface correctly.
The side-effect of this bug is that when the ethernet nic in my laptop is not used ntpd will try to connect on the wireless interface and will wait for timeout - about a minute or so. Irritating and unnecessarily slowing the bootup process. Even interrupting the nice bootup splash.
The bug can be reproduced in both Ubuntu Hoary and Breezy.
