wireless network adaptor problem

I have 2 network adaptors and everytime I startup Vista, the computer
disables the ethernet adaptor, causing the wireless adaptor to not function
properly. So everytime I want to connect to the internet using my wireless
card after starting up vista, I have to go through the process of opening up
device manager and enabling the ethernet adaptor (for some strange reason).

How do I prevent Vista from disabling the ethernet adaptor everytime I
startup my laptop? Any help would be appreciated.
