I have a company-issued Dell Latitude D620 with Win XP and a Dell Wireless
1390 WLAN mini-card.

When I go to a hotel (or other facility with wireless access), I have to
boot the PC twice before it will recognize wireless networks. The is a
"Wi-Fi" light which is illuminated when wireless is active - it won't come
on for the initial boot process but immediately comes on (with no
intervention from me) on the second boot.

Any ideas on how to get wireless right off the "boot"?

Thanks,

Steve
