It also works after a :
iwconfig wlan0 essid WLAN
My Notebook is an new T61 Thinkpad.
Edit:I use the iwl4965 driver.

Sounds like a similar problem I was having. Unfortunately all my network help requests through this forum have generally met with little or no response.
The one response I did get that seemed to be on the right track was to try the "new" network scripts that were being worked on. I think they "internally" scan and save you that step.
I use the IWL4965 modules/drivers. Is that what you use?

Yes i use them too
try the "new" network scripts that were being worked on.
You mean the Networkmanager?
I think that it isn't a Driver Problem because iwconfig wlan0 essid WLAN works after start.
Isnt the network script in /etc/rc.d using iwconfig?

just an Idea...
in your rc.conf, I see : INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 !wlan0)
Why is wlan0 desactivated ("!wlan0" instead of "wlan0") ?

Because I use the network profiles, than i have to deactivate it, isnt that right?
Btw.: If i dont use the Network profile and instead use ne interfaces as normal it is the same problem

Yup, wlan0 should be deactivated in the INTERFACES to use network profiles. I have mine the same way.
