Sorry, been out for a bit....
I installed the patches give above, and did some testing.
When running with the patched piratebox_setup_wlan.sh file, it seemed that I was getting about a 50-50
chance of the wlan0 interface being configured after full bootup. Pulling the power (which is forcing an fsck),
seems to be the most likely way for it to fail.
I never entered the wait loop in the patched code after the ifconfig "$INTERFACE". There was never a "."
printed out after "Probing interface". This includes failures of the interface to be configured, as well as when
the interface was configured properly.
I threw in some debug statements to see what was going on. I was outputting "ifconfig $INTERFACE" after the
assignment of the IP and NETMASK (ifconfig $INTERFACE $IP netmask $NETMASK), and saw that everything
was OK with the wlan0 interface (IP and netmask assigned). Then I login to the system, and run ifconfig wlan0,
and find that wlan0 has no IP or netmask!
My conclusion is that the configuration of the interface in piratebox_setup_wlan0.sh script is fine (without the
checking delay loops), and that something else after this script is causing a problem. I'll keep digging as I get
time.
