Intel 3945ABG loses connection after login

Using a Dell Latitude D820 with the Intel 3945ABG network card and the
latest version of Intel Pro Network Connection software. Logging on to
an active directory domain with Win 2003R2 servers. I have setup a
wireless profile using the administrator tool. The profile is setup as
both persistent and pre-logon. I have tried only persistent with
pre-logon for each user, only persistent, only pre-logon. None of these
combinations seems to work.

The pre-logon part seem to function ok. I boot the laptop and enter my
credentials. The pre-logon window pops up, it finds the profile and the
domain and logs me in. But once the login is finished the login scripts
do not run. Also I noticed the IntelPro software says the wireless
connection is good. BUT when I ping the router I get no response. If I
stop the wireless connection, it automatically restarts and I can again
ping the router.

I would like to have it stay connected during the logon process and run
scripts, etc.

Thanks,
Brian
