Right click and choose edit connections. Highlight the active connaction and make sure the "connect automatically" box and "available to all users" are selected. That is normally all that is needed.

yeah, tried that, but all it does is make my primary home wirless connect automatically...I still have to right click every time I startup.
Did you mean interface is down on startup?
If that doesn't work, try to manually execute iwconfig activation command on init.d startup script
iwconfig wlan0* up
(*) whatever interface is
if you don't know how to init.d works, look for example http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/...run-at-bootup/
Another thing you may want to check is if you permission to use wireless in your user profile. System - Administration - Users and Groups - Advance settings - User privileges - Connect to wireless and ethernet networks. Somehow I got listed not under Administrator with access to everything but as having Custom privileges. It is possible that you are set up in the same way and not allowed access to networks. Just something to try.

I am also using an Aspire one 721 and it workedtry placing;
nmcli nm wifi on
in /etc/rc.local using;
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
-make sure to add the line before exit 0 in the file.
-this will instruct network manager to enable wifi on every login
-solved issue on Acer Aspire One 721, Ubuntu 10.10 x64
(looks like (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1563463) nmcli is only available in 10.10, I'd imagine you could accomplish the same thing using dbus-send in other versions)
