netcfg net-auto-wireless

I am having a problem with netcfg's net-auto-wireless daemon. I am starting the daemon from my daemons array in /etc/rc.conf when I boot. However, some of my wireless network configs in /etc/network.d are symlinks to files on a encrypted drive which is only mounted after I login. So at the time net-auto-wireless is started those symlinks are not valid.
I expected that net-auto-wireless would automatically "recover" after login and connect to a wireless network using the now valid symlinked configs, but this is not the case. net-auto-wireless will not connect at sit there doing nothing.

Is there a way to make net-auto-wireless connect to a wireless without having to restart the daemon?

Thanks,
Daniel

Re: netcfg net-auto-wireless

If you bring up the netcfg connection manually/in a login script after that mount, maybe the daemon resumes watching by itself.
