Wlan is up in the boot through the service wlancond (at /init.d) associated to runlevel 3. The graphical user interaction doesn't allow to set up but configure the values of wlan. So you have to define these in order to wlan starts at runlevel 3 with that configuration.

To do that you have to edit file /etc/network/interfaces with the values of the wlan (iface, name, address, essid, etc.). Look at here:http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html

A bit more complicate situation is if wlan is not always the same. In such a situation you must write a script that allows to distinguish between the different wlans (for instance, via comparison of known mac address and sniffed mac addres).

Why not set it to auto connect if you don't want user input...?

I need to connect to WLAN right after boot of Nokia. But there is no possibility to configure it. User has to press connect icon to bring up network.
