Centrino Laptop's wireless will not initialize until after Login

[domburi]

I have a Laptop with Centrino wireless.

The problem is that after turning on the computer, the wireless adapter will not start until the computer is logged in Locally to Windows.

There is even an indicator on the front panel which shows if the wireless adapter is on or not. It stays dark until logged into Windows LOCALLY.

Obviously this means I cannot login to the network until AFTER I've logged into Windows locally and the Centrino Device is initialized.

I'm using the latest Intel WPA drivers on my laptop with the Microsoft support for WPA and a WPA AP (Netgear 602).

After I login, wireless works flawlessly, I just can't get it to do so BEFORE I login.

Thanks for any help!
