I am still struggling with this problem, wireless connection does not
start at boot 
with fixed IP Address.

The following indicates that there is a problem with ...interfaces.

debian:/home/ian# /etc/init.d/networking restart
Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter.
Reconfiguring network interfaces.../etc/network/interfaces:1: misplaced
option
ifdown: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
/etc/network/interfaces:1: misplaced option
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"

Here is current interfaces file;

# The loopback network interface
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address 192.168.1.109
    netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1

Thanks, Ian
