Hi, Leon. See below...

Crossposted to os2-isp and os2-wireless-users:
It seems that the PLC (Primary Logon Client) requires NetBIOS up and running (not a problem) but more importantly requires that the interface be connected.
Not sure exactly which interface we're discussing, here. If you are referring to establishing an association with an access point, then this is done as soon as the driver is loaded, even before a higher level protocol (TCP, UDP, NetBIOS, IPX, etc.) is bound to the card, AFAIK.
A wireless connection is not usually established at computer user logon time but once the logon screen has passed. Does anyone have a way to get around this issue on XP?
Ah... I think I have a better idea here. The XP connection manager may block access until permissions are established. No matter. Don't use it. Use a connection manager for the card (i.e., the one provided by the manufacturer) or for ThinkPads (and probably others), try the IBM Access Connections utility. I've had nothing but problems dealing with the supposedly-more-user-friendly XP connection manager. As with most software from Redmond, they shipped it before they started thinking out-of-the-box (the shipping box, that is!).
