wlan0 not working at boot (need dhclient)

Xeratul · 03-15-2015, 07:45 AM

Hello,

the wifi is set on dhcp (wpa2).
I modified the /etc/network/interface and now it does NOT work unfortunately automatically at boot. I need always do after boot: dhclient -v wlan0

The interface file with problem is :

Code:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /root/wificonfig.conf

would you please know how to fix the /etc/network/interface ?

thank you

I use this in /etc/network/interfaces:

Code:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wpa-ssid <SSSID>
        wpa-psk <passphrase>

Replace <SSID> with the name of the wireless access point (use `iwlist scan` to list all access points) and <passphrase> with the, er, passphrase.
