This helps a lot, Unfortunately we are using WPA with a PSK at the 
moment. I'm not sure if we get connected, before the login screen 
appears. I'm assuming WPKG-gp runs prior to system login, correct? I do 
know we have cases where users have to wait a bit (~15/~30 sec) before 
logging in for the wireless connection to be established.

I guess I'll just have try it and see.
