Madwifi & Initialize on Boot

[disguised.jedi at gmail.com]

Well, I went through and looked a little closer at everything that
went on, and found some error messages that didn't seem to be related,
but they were.  All I had to do was put "restricted" before the key
and that made iwconfig figure out that it shouldn't try to connect
without the key.

That was simple.

Here's a link to what I looked at that inspired me!
