I've never used a non-PCMCIA wireless card so this is beyond my experience. I did notice that you don't set up any wireless specific parameters (essid/encryption key etc.) for the card in the included interface file in your original post. Perhaps that is what is missing on the one box during boot? Well, I'm out of here, hopefully I'll learn something when you tell us how you got it working ;-) Cheers!

Both computers have Netgear MA311 Wireless PCI cards. Perhaps there is a difference in the bootup sequences, I'll print out the runlevel.conf files and compare them.
