Comment 28 for bug 44194

okay, I've uploaded a very similar patch to what Roman has proposed to intrepid. I tested the packages in a kvm instance, obviously without wpasupplicant.

My current guess what's going wrong here:

The udev rules gets activated too early in the boot sequence, most probably with S10udev, where udev gets started. This is before any fscks have been done and also before the root filesystem has been remounted rw in S20checkroot.sh. This is not really the best time to start things like wpasupplicant.

Syncronizing the udev rule with S40networking is probably still not exactly the right solution. However I still think it is correct for this particular problem, because at that time, we are expect that the network is able to come up. In fact it should be safe to do already right after S20checkroot.sh. Waiting until S40networking isn't too bad as well, however.
