hostap boot problem

System:
Debian 3.0r2
kernel 2.4.25
2 Netgear MA311

I load hostap & hostap_pci in /etc/modules.
In /etc/network/interfaces i have these lines:

Code:

auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet static

        address 10.19.141.75

        netmask 255.255.255.192

        network 10.19.141.64

        broadcast 10.19.141.127

        gateway 10.19.141.65

        wireless_mode managed

        wireless_essid APessid

When i boot the system wlan0 is still in "master mode" and doesnt connect to the AP :)

However, if these commands run at the end of the booting

Code:

iwconfig wlan0 mode managed

iwconfig wlan0 essid any

it connnects fine.

I think that hostap is being loaded after the ifs are up.
Is any way to check the boot sequence or to load hostap sooner?

/var/log/messages , /var/log/syslog and /var/log/debug doesnt show any errors!

--- edit ---
Anyone can move it to Wireless Networking? :)
sorry
