[plug] Just works wireless card.

[Coral and Ben]

i am pretty new too, but i get my usb modem up every boot by adding some 
lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local text file, it would be similar to your issue 
- every time I boot I need the modem to be associated correctly with the 
usbserial module by running a couple of commands

i think this stuff is executed last, so it is ideal for 'last minute' 
boot changes

of course if I know linux (and I am starting to) there will be several 
other possible ways to achieve the same effect ;-)
