Hi James

Are you referring to computer configuration settings or user configuration
settings in this case?

What options do you have set on the Authentication Tab of the properties for
the wireless interface?

You could try Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates ->
System -> Logon -> Always wait for the network at computer startup and
logon.
  (this setting probably requires you to logon once with a wired connection
before it'll take in wireless).

Kind regards
