I assume so, since the wireless device *does* work.  It's seen at boot (I can 
see it coming up during the start-up dialogue).  It just doesn't work unless 
I execute those commands at root.

Incidentally, I've found that these two commands are all that I need:

# iwconfig wlan0 key restricted <my-key>
# ifconfig wlan0 <ip-address>

Since I've decided to use a static IP address for the computer on my home 
network.  I still need to execute these manually if I want to use the 
wireless card.
