No, usually the driver modules for usb are supposed
to be loaded by the appropriate udev rules. And this
should work at boot time too, i.e. no need to unplug
the usb dongle.
I would suggest to try the wpasupplicant package. For
Debian and Ubuntu the appropriate support has been added
to the ifupdown scripts. You have to configure your wlan
gateway to do wpa-psk, though.
My entry for wlan in /etc/network/interfaces looks like
this:
allow-hotplug eth2
iface eth2 inet static
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid mynet
wpa-psk my_precious_wpa_passphrase
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
Hope this helps. Regards
Harri
