Well, I did a wee bit of testing today, and it seems the airport 
networking is launched after I log in graphically at least once. Then, 
the adapters spring up correctly in ifconfig in console mode.

I am pretty sure Network preferences and locations are system wide, I 
think my problem is probably related to the airport applet or airport in 
general.

Or maybe I'm just special.
