suse 10.0, intel 2200bg wireless doesn't start at boot

[chrisfc200]

hi,
quite familiar with linux, however until now I've simply avoided using it with wireless. Suse10 has nicely got my 2200bg centrino working, unfortunately it doesn't start at boot (just seems to be backgrounded until it fails). Instead, to get it working;

I run yast
Click on network devices
click on Network card
click next through the options (i've set up encryption, works fine)
then once it re-starts the network services I'm up and running..

I'm using DHCP through a 3com wireless router. Any help much appreciated.
Regards,
chris

Have you tried installing the ipw_firmware? Check out this thread.
