Comment 2 for bug 114310

Confirmed on Feisty (latest version, not upgraded)

- I am using ndiswrapper (Broadcom Chipset, bcm43xx native driver disabled)
- NetworkManager cannot establish a connection at all (that is maybe a different problem. I uninstalled it completely)
- a network configuration was established via /etc/network/interfaces and wpa_supplicant; ifdown/ifup commands were registered in rc.local (without any effect!)
- After Ubuntu has started up in many cases a connection to the access point has not been established; I need to set it up manually (first "ifdown eth1" in order to close an existing connection, then ifup eth1)
- After connection has been corrupted (i. e. standby mode) I have to retry disconnecting/connection several times (my wlan device eth1 is not displayed in the ifconfig printout anymore after a wakeup from standby). The DHCP client first seemed to be the problem (did not get an IP address), but even after static IP configuration the problem has NOT been solved. However, connection on bootup is started correctly with a static IP.
- the dmesg printout often contains the error message "eth1: no IPv6 routers present". I tried to disable the ipv6 module - no effect
- I think I could reduce the number of disconnecting/connection retrials needed to connect by setting the ap_scan variable in wpa_supplicant.conf to 2 (formerly 1) but I don't know

I don't know if my problem is really the same problem as described above, but perhaps I can help to solve that bug on Ubuntu. Please contact me if you need further information!
