I've got it starting as a service, however it doesn't make the connection. when the system starts to run the script the script runs fine but the wireless doesn't make the connection. "Network is down" is reported to the console as the system is booting. Once the desktop loads and I'm logged in, if I issue "service wireless restart" (I've got it setup as a sysV init script) the wireless connects perfectly every time. Mark
