Wireless networking

[Daniel Axtell]

I recently decided to install Ubuntu 5.10 on an older laptop, a Sony Vaio, with an Netgear WG511 wireless card.  Much to my surprise, everything seemed to work the first time, even the wireless networking.
 
 However, whenever I boot up the machine again the wireless is turned off by default.  When I choose the Admin/Networking, I can reactivate eth0 and indeed the lights on the card turn on, but there's still no connection.
 
 I tried the route command
 route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 
 to try connect to my local network, but that doesn't seem to help, I still can't ping anything. 
 
 Any thoughts on how to automate this?
