Wireless without login for SSH with rt2800pci

Hello

I want to get the wireless working (as my desktop is far away from my router I cannot use LAN) without logging in.
I used the rc.conf network settings but the wireless does not come on.
The part of the reason may be: my rt2800pci RALINK wireless has some bug kind of a thing, which makes the module not being loaded at the boot up.
I had to do this when using wpa_supplicant:

rmmod rt2800pci
modprobe rt2800pci
ip link set wlan0 up
... and then I use wpa_supplicant.
But when I use networkmanager or wicd the wireless works automatically but only after I login.

I want to know whether I can get the wireless before login. If the rt2800pci module is the problem then may I know of any tweaks that I can do?

Thank You

Please provide output of lsmod and lspci after boot. Also it would be helpful to see the daemon and module arrays you have in rc.conf.
