The systemd service file net-auto-wireless.service provided by netcfg-2.6.8-1 does not start wireless network on boot when enabled. The command "systemctl enable net-auto-wireless.service" should do the trick without further configuration (that's the point of systemd, after all). It doesn't. I have to manually restart it when logged to start wireless network.

I noticed that net-auto-wired.service has these lines:
Before=network.target
WantedBy=multi-user.target

when net-auto-wireless.service has those:
After=dbus.service
WantedBy=network.target

Changing these 2 lines in net-auto-wireless.service so that it reflects those in net-auto-wired.service solves the issue.
This task depends upon

Doesn't work for me on any of my machines. I have to do the same manual restart.
