ifplugd and startup

Hi,

I have configured ifplugd to switch between my wlan and eth0 (this is my ifplug.action):

#!/bin/sh
#
# ifplugd.action script for Arch Linux

. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

case "$2" in
  up)
    netcfg2 -a || echo "Unable to bring all profiles down"
    dhcpcd eth0
  ;;
  down)
    netcfg-auto-wireless wlan0
  ;;
  *)
    echo "Wrong arguments" > /dev/stderr
  ;;
esac  

exit 1

This works fine! But not on startup!
Because on startup, if the cable is not plugged in, it does not start the wlan.

On the other hand, if I add net-auto to the startup  daemons in rc.conf, wlan is always started (also the cable might be pluged in).

Suggestions for how to solve this?
Thanks!
Nathan
