I've got a well defined interfaces file (follows in the PS), but neither my Ubuntu laptop nor my Ubuntu desktop manages to create a wireless link on boot.
Anyone got an easy fix? I'll gripe and moan until the universe dies its heat death about the age and maturity of Linux not being reflected at all in luser-friendly GUI wifi configuration out of the box (or until it's fixed), but this should be what those apps are doing under the hood, and even it's not working right.

Is there a reason to avoid Network Manager and applets? I've found it works well, but as per the README requires that that specific file be mostly blank!
