I changed the configuration and restarted the networking daemon. I'm
getting this output

jochus@Bacardi ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
 * Reconfiguring network
interfaces...
ioctl[SIOCGIFINDEX]: No such device
Failed to open l2_packet connection for the bridge interface 'br0'
wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1

Waiting for br0 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 32 seconds).

Surely things are getting run in the wrong order.

First, the bridge should be created.
Then, the interfaces should be configured, joined to the bridge, and brought up.
Then wpa_supplicant should run.
After wpa_supplicant associates to the wireless access point, then dhcp should succeed.

It seems like ubuntu's network scripts don't create the bridge until too late.
 


I'm worried about the wpa_supplicant error. The file is present:

jochus@Bacardi ~ $ ls -al /sbin/wpa_supplicant
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 319812 2008-03-12 22:28 /sbin/wpa_supplicant
