I can confirm the udev "critical race": removing 
/etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules and setting the wireless interface as auto 
everything works as intended (interface correctly brought up at boot time by 
/etc/init.d/networking).
I can't explane why udev cannot work correctly even if it uses ifup (as 
networking init script does); again a suspect: are the 802.11 stack related 
modules loaded properly before udev starts? I have a modprobe rule (maybe 
redundant) that loads ieee80211, ieee80211_crypt, ieee80211_crypt_tkip modules 
together with the ipw2200 one; does udev do the same thing? Or it uses insmod, 
bypassing modprobe rules?
And, anyway, where is the usefulness of a udev rule that does the same of 
netbase scripts? I think is better mantaining things as simple as possible... 
(Debian does it... :) )
