Well, I have something like the following for my Wireless card there:
auto eth1
iface inet dhcp    (I can't remember this line off the top of my head
but I think this is right)
    wpa_driver    wext
    wpa_config   /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpasupplicant.conf

eth1 is my wireless devid.  Its setup for dhcp, but for some reason
just doesn't load on startup.  Except yesterday for some reason I saw
it connect and run at first load, and I'm not sure what may have
happened to cause it to work.
