[Samba] Problem using roaming profiles with wireless clients

Hello,
I have a Linux server acting as a Windows PDC and we're using roaming
profiles. Wired clients connect fine and upload/download their profiles.
Wireless clients do not. I also have RADIUS running on the Linux server
and the Wireless AP is configured to authenticate against the RADIUS
server as well, using the windows login information. I enabled verbose
debugging on the RADIUS server, so I could see exactly what is
happening. When the wireless clients try to login to the domain and
download their roaming profiles, the client will hang at the login sceen
for a few minutes, then report that it could not connect to the server
hosting the roaming profile. Only after I click "ok" does the client
send the username and password to the RADIUS server for authentication.
The problem seems to be timing, so I was hoping someone may know if and
how I can configure the XP clients to bring up it's wireless interface
before attempting to download it's roaming profile. I know this isn't a
samba issue, but was hoping someone might know a Windows fix.
