Hi,
Got a bit of a weird problem. I've got a brand new Dell 600m notebook dual-booting Debian and Windows, and whenever I leave work and try to boot into Debian, it hangs when trying to bring up wlan0:
ndiswrapper: using irq 11
And that's as far as she gets. I have ALSO noted that the same thing happens at work if I am running off batteries. Like I said, weird.
What's the best way of stopping wlan0 attempting to ifup on boot?
All your help is greatly appreciated.

I've found the problem - my kernel config doesn't currently support Advanced Power Mangement. Oh well, another recompile will be good.........
By the way, if you do want to disable wireless (or eth0) on boot, just comment out the 'auto' command in /etc/network/interfaces for the required interface:
For example,
#auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address xx.xx.xx.xx
netmask xx.xx.xx.xx
gateway xx.xx.xx.xx
network xx.xx.xx.0
broadcast xx.xx.xx.255
nameservers="xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx"
