Airport not automatically activating - clock messed up

[msw123307]

For some reason every time I turn on my Macbook airport has stopped turning on. I get a notice that my clock is set to 2008, and I have to select my network from the dropdown, and re-enter my password for it to work again. I restarted, and did a permissions repair. Can anyone tell me what is going on or give me a tip on how to fix it? Thanks.

Try resetting your PRAM/NVRAM by pressing and holding command+option+P+R on startup until you hear the startup chime a second time.
