No: the problem isn't the standard init scripts -- the problem is that
NetworkManager waits for a GUI client to instruct it to connect before
attaching to the network.

That application, KNetworkManager, runs concurrent with the other
applications at session startup -- and consequently the network isn't
ready when the applications are.

Playing with your init script order isn't going to help anything here,
sadly, since they are not involved.

Sorry I don't have anything positive to add, too.  I don't know a
solution to this other than to wait for KDE to bind more closely to a
"network presence" system of some sort.
