windows server 2003 with wireless nic

I have a windows server 2003 that I have set up as a file and print server. I
am running the box headless (with no monitor/keyboard) on a local network.
When using an wired ethernet card I can just log on remotely using RDP, even
after a restart. I do not have to touch the machine at all.
I want to switch to a wireless card (replacing the wired NIC)and move my
server into a closet. I cannot figure out how to make the wireless connection
active after a reboot without manually logging onto the machine. While a
wired NIC will start as a service and connect automatically at boot, it seems
the wireless card needs a user logged on. Any help will be appreciated.
