I have BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) which works with b43 + wpa_supplicant nicely, except I can't seem to get to automagically start at boot time.
wlan0 always times out (wired connects at boot time just fine). I'd like my laptop to automatically connect to one of two networks, else remain disconnected.
Once started I can always netcfg2 <network name> and it connects no problem... I must have missed something in the wireless setup but I can't find what it is.
my rc.conf:
#

and my network.d/<network name>

TIMEOUT=20when I look for wpa_supplicant after a boot, it is not running ( ps aux | grep wpa ).
wlan0 is up right after boot:

I'm misunderstading (I think) how netcfg2 is used during startup, I thought the line `NETWORKS=("auto-wireless wlan0")` would tell netcfg2 to try /etc/network.d/*
thanks for looking

clearly i'm too stupid to read the entire wiki page.
thanks
