I'm not sure when wlan0 gets set. I don't know how to check for this offhand, but if you let me know what to look for I'll let you know. That being said, I haven't changed whatever the default setting is for the 12.04 alternate ubuntu install cd. I just have a wireless card in the machine and never hook up the network card. I think the other thing it keys off is some file systems flag and I don't know when this is valid either--ie. before or after user login.
even still, you'd think I wouldn't have to manually kick it off after user login. It's like the wlan0 doesn't ever set the networking flag.
