Wlan is down when system starts

Hello there! Im kind of new linux user and i need your help with a problem that occured

After a full system upgrade (that only package i held back was the latest kernel26) , the wlan0 interface keeps remaining down , allthough eth0 is fine with ip address assigned.

Wlan assosiates with the access point (ive got the link up , info by iwconfig) , but the interface is down with no ip address so i have to manually assign it and bring it up afterwards. A simple solution would be writing a script that brings up the iface.Any other ideas how i could fix it?

rc.conf seems fine , i havent chaned it for a while now.

eth0="eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
wlan0="wlan0 192.168.2.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255"
wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid <myessid> key 0123456789 ap any"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 wlan0)

And heres some info from the logs
