Fixed in HEAD of grml-network

Thanks for the bug report

Looks like grml monter ate my attached interfaces file, try with cut-n-paste.

Hi,

today, I wanted to test grml-daily 32-bit sid (2009-09-05) with new 2.6.35-kernel.

When I configured network via netcardconfig, my WPA password which only contains
of digits (13 digits) is not accepted... I get an error-message saying it is empty.

To help myself, I have stolen my /etc/network/interfaces file from another
Debian/sid install on same harddisk and restarted networking.

This fixed the problem for me.

Kind Regards,
- Sedat (aka dile{X,ks} on IRC) -

P.S.: My interfaces file is attached to BR.
