Allen - yes, I have found a few sites with info referring to accessing the advanced setting of wireless adapter and enabling Single Sign-on and other such settings, but my HP laptops with Windows 7 64-bit and Qualcomm Atheros drivers did not have those settings.

I have also seen a forum post where you can create a registry value in the Current Version\Run key to auto-connect wireless immediately, but that didn't work either.

I did look for updated drivers, but didn't find any yet. Any other suggestions.

Thanks for all the help.
