I am still not able to get wireless to initiate on boot with;

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid "SonomaGrove

I now have a static IP Address 192.168.1.109 and have created the
following;

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.109
        netmask 255.255.255.0
wireless-essid "SonomaGrove"

Help, Ian
