Can't get wireless connection to start at boot.

Can't get wireless connection to start at boot. Network Configuration doesn't appear to work (even manually), although Wireless Assistant works fine but won't start on boot. I'm thinking Network Configuration is my best bet to connect at startup since it seems to be tied in better with Fedora.

Network Configuration:
Upon install, I had (2) ethernet connections
eth0 nVidia MCP51 (on board Lan)
eth1 Atheros AR5005G 802.11

I was unable to get a Wireless Settings tab on the eth1 connection unless I edited the connection and called it Wireless instead of ethernet. Now I could set a SSID and key code but it wouldn't start at boot or manually.

I've noticed that under Hardware (Wireless Device Config/Hardware Device) the actual device listing above was gone; I had wifi0 to 9 to choose from. I'm thinking that this is the reason it's not starting at boot. Any way to troubleshoot this?

I'm on Fedora 6
