This isn't something we really support right now, since nm-applet/NetworkManagerInfo aren't running before you log in, therefore NetworkManager cannot know stored preferences and other per-user config information. If you have an Ethernet cable plugged in, NM will most likely attempt to use the wired connection. But if you want the wireless connection up before you log in, that's not going to happen. All the wireless keys, preferred network, and which networks you're actually allowed to connect to are stored per-user, as designed, and also as designed, NetworkManager won't attempt to connect to a wireless network without that data since it couldn't possibly know which one to connect to.
