I don't want to use NetworkManager, have deleted it. ( Please don't 
bring up NetworkManager any more,  It is against my religion to even 
talk about it)  My Religion is A PISS OFF NETWORKMANAGER USER.

I have eth0 ethernet working.

Now I want to get the Wireless card working on this laptop.
But when I try to reboot to load Wireless , the Network won't start, it 
FAILs .
