Re: Hotplug works, Reboot works, Cold Start - no work

	Hallo David,
I believe this is the behavior of the driver, as the modules do not
get loaded until the device is brought up with something like ifup
wlan0 or hotplug takes over.  Perhaps you could put something like
ifup wlan0 in one of the startup scripts?
