Note that it probably isn't necessary to get rid of the wpa process after removing the interface, but it means that there aren't multiple processes if
you remove/insert the card several times.
-!Ubuntu Hoary
-Note! If you are using Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary) and you have an Intel-based wireless chip (such as the wireless in Centrino-based laptops) then you will need a newer version of the <tt>ipw</tt> driver to get [WPA] support. The one shipped with the
default kernel is no good at present although there is a lot of work being done here in LinuxKernel 2.6.13 and 2.6.14 networking trees.

+There is currently being fixed in LinuxKernel 2.6.13 and 2.6.14 networking trees so it should all work out of the box in future Ubuntu releases.
+
+!Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)
+As described in the previous paragraph, this is fixed in ubuntu 5.10.
+Instead of doing "<tt>pre-up wpa_supplicant ...</tt>", ubuntu starts wpa on boot. Edit the <tt>/etc/default/wpasupplicant</tt> file:
+<verbatim>
+ENABLED=1
+OPTIONS="-w -Dipw -ieth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
+</verbatim>
+changing the option for -D and -i as appropriate.
!Other distros
People who use other distros should put stuff here.
