Activating wireless card at boot

[Richard S. Crawford]

Once my computer is booted up, I can execute the following series of commands 
(as root):

# iwlist wlan0 scan
# iwconfig wlan0 key restricted <my-key>
# dhclient wlan0

in order to get up and running with my wireless card. I'm using a Linksys 
WPC-11b ver. 3 wireless card with ndiswrapper, and my laptop is running FC3 
kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3.

No matter what I do, though, I can't seem to get this working on boot. I've 
tried creating the new wireless device in the network configuration tool, 
entering all of the proper settings in the "Wireless" tab. The computer seems 
to recognize the wireless card and reports a strong signal, but I can't see 
the SSID for my WAP and I certainly can't get an IP address from the DHCP 
server.

What am I missing?
