Network wont boot after Avahi upgrade Kubuntu 6.10
 

Hi all, ever since the recent upgrade of avahi and components my network connection will never start on boot-up. (i.e. the Wireless Network Device Properties Utility show no link, etc and I have no access to LAN or Internet).

As soon as the PC has booted I can go into system settings > network settings and my wireless network card is ticked with the note "Enabled Wireless Network Device". If I go into Administrator Mode click Disable Interface then Enable Interface it comes up immediately.

Can anybody assist me in troubleshooting this please!?

Some background info.

It's a Belkin based BCM43xx card, using Linuxant DriverLoader with WPA (using Linuxants wpa_supplicant)
I have never had a network start-up problem with Edgy & this config until immediately after the AVAHI upgrade.
My System log is pasted below in 2 sections .. Part1 is the PC boot with the failed network start-up and Part 2 is me disabling and re-enabling via System Settings > Network Settings.

Following that is a copy of my Interfaces file.

And to answer a couple of other questions .. I have disabled Zeroconf via the GUI in System Settings > Network Settings > Zeroconf Discovery Service. The network is defintately set to start on boot in the GUI.


Can't think of much more background to give right now.

Thanks all.
