Wireless network does not connect after boot

[Craig]

When I boot up my machine and log in, Network Manager does not connect to my wireless network. Also, clicking on the applet icon does not show any wireless networks available (usually there are 10 to 15 found.) If I restart the Network Manager service (sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart) then everything works perfectly. Obviously, the expected behavior is for the connection to be established upon login, not requiring a service restart every time the computer is turned on.

Network configuration is set to connect automatically and the security used is "WPA & WPA2 Personal".

Machine is a Dell XPS 1530 with a clean install of Ubuntu Desktop 9.04 64-bit with the "Broadcom STA wireless driver" enabled through the Hardware Drivers program. From my order, Dell lists my wireless card as "MX846 Card (circuit), Wireless Minicard, DW1505, B1"

It is worth noting that when I boot into Windows Vista (machine is set up to dual boot) the wireless network works perfectly every time.

Guys, thanks for taking a look at this, but I've recently installed 9.10, and no longer have the same configuration in place to properly test the bug as reported. If this problem persists with the new installation though, I will certainly post the requested details back to here.
