/etc/rc./network can not start broadcom device

Question

Hey all, first post.
Loving Arch linux, used Redhat since back in the 6.0 days, then Fedora core 2-4, then Ubuntu. Tried all sorts of smaller distros, but I think Arch is a winner. Anywho onto the question.
I have a Broadcom Card. I am using bcm43xx-fwcutter with the file linked onto the wiki. I want to get my IP via DHCP.
I have noticed however that whenever I use iwconfig <interface> essid <essid>, I can not be assigned an IP address, but I can ping my network. If I use iwconfig <interface> essid any, it will work. But only if I let my system stand for a few minutes after booting, or restarting /etc/rc.d/network. Here is some basic info

Yes, my wireless device ie eth1 and not wlan0. Not sure why, but it has always been this way.
On boot, or trying to start the network, the broadcom device times out on DHCP. After a few minutes, I can manually do it
iwconfig eth1 essid any
dhclient eth1
Here is my rc.d networking section. eth0 is a wired device, but my computer is almost always wireless, so I dont want the network script timing out every time, trying to DHCP from the non existent cat5.

Any thoughts on how to get the network script working properly? I will be leaving town on work, and need to leave my computer with the girlfriend. There is no way she is going to be able to manually start the network everytime its needed.

Update:
Tried using the b43legacy drivers with the same outcome as the b43 drivers using the above mentioned tutorial.
[root@lungnet shawn]# iwconfig wlan0 essid lungair channel 1 ap 00:18:D1:46:36:BA
[root@lungnet shawn]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

Also notice another wierd thing when going back to the bcm43xx drivers. If i comment out the networking section in my rc.conf file, the drivers wont work when manually setup after the network script fails?

I find that very odd.
Any other ideas?
