Starting dbus, hal, and NM early will work in the wired case because a connection is established before nm-applet is run so ntpd will find a connection when it runs later, but this won't work for wireless because a connection will not be made until nm-applet runs after all the init scripts have run. Am I missing something?
If ntpd doesn't find a connection when it is run, it becomes brain dead and will not work until restarted. Depending on the order of init scripts is problematic. Network dependent services need some way to be told that a link is available or some way to be started or restarted when a link becomes available.
I am running Head 1.361 under FC4 Test 3 on a T42. All seems very stable including vpnc support.
