	I tried that, no dice.  It appears that the problem is that the
interface card isn't initalized yet to accept the ancontrol commands.  I
had to write a script that sleeps for 5 seconds during boot up, then runs
the commands.  It just seems that I am missing something, because I would
think the start up scripts could handle that.  My way works, I would just
like to find the 'correct' way to make it work.

	It was the power saving mode, which Louis A. Mamakos (thanks
again!) was ale to help me with.  The whole boot up thing still boggles me
though...
