In the script /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless, you'll see...
Code:
###############
# EXIT POINTS #
###############

# Is the device wireless?  If not, exit this script.
is_wireless_device ${INTERFACE} || return 0 2> /dev/null || exit 0
Please change that to...
Code:
###############
# EXIT POINTS #
###############

echo "Testing if ${INTERFACE} is wireless." | $LOGGER
# Is the device wireless?  If not, exit this script.
is_wireless_device ${INTERFACE} || return 0 2> /dev/null || exit 0
echo "Looks like it was." | $LOGGER
...and then run /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 eth1_restart and provide us the output.

That will tell us if (a) /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless is being run at all and (b) if the rest of the script is being executed or not. It won't actually fix anything.

Post has not been edited in over 6 months but then again the distro hasn't either in years. I ran into the same problem recently with a fresh install of S/ware. The wiki states that rc.wireless is deprecated. But then I had to install the "wireless-tools package" to make the rc.inet1.conf script work. This in turn installed rc.wireless. So the contradictory info had me wrangling for weeks on this problem.

HTH.
