I can't seem to get my wireless card automatically during startup. After logging in I can set the card without any problem.

I have a /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
I have /etc/conf.d/wireless set to the parameters I need
I have an entry for the wlan0 in /etc/conf.d/net

I work with ndiswrapper btw and that start without a problem during startup and is also loaded first before any network items are started.
I get the message that it wants to start the net.wlan0 but it stops with an error and the message that it can only be set after boot.

What do I miss?

Do you get something like:
Code:
<...>
 * Device initiated services: net.wlan0
<...>
 * net.wlan0 cannot start until the runlevel boot has completed
<...>

not really,
check your /etc/conf.d/rc for

Code:
RC_COLDPLUG="yes"

set it to "no".

Or,
Code:
RC_PLUG_SERVICES=""

you can have it like
Code:
RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.*"


This should solve that error at boot..

After the latest upgrade of my baselayout I had the problem with net* services starting at boot on my laptop (where I like to start them manually). This solved it, thanks!
