WMP54G & RT61PCI Wont Auto Connect

[Leonard Chatagnier]

I hope this is the last time I need to bring up this
issue. Everything works except the adapter wont auto
connect on bootup.  Annoying that I must perform "sudo
ifdown wlan0" and sudo "ifup wlan0" once I can access
a terminal before it connects; sudo ifup wlan0 alone
wont do it. Is there some boot command I could use to
get it to autoconnect or anything anyone knows that
would get the adapter to autoconnect.  Appreciate your
thoughts.
TIA,
