If configured correctly then wireless connection should just come on. It can sometimes disconnect for some reason. If you have a wireless connection that requires you to connect via a desktop icon then assign a shortcut key too it if this is what you mean. Again if a special icon exists on the desktop for you to enter on and type in a user name etc or just simply to open up and then hit enter on a connect button, why not place a copy of that shortcut in the programs menu/startup folder.
