I would copy the file to rc2.d and rc3.d (it won't hurt to copy to both) and ensure they are executable. Xandros is a distro I have not used, so I have little idea how they arrange things :( Certainly seems odd that it works when called manually, but not via the boot up. Does dmesg show the Atheros modules loading or any other clues?
