If the analysis of NM starting too late in the boot process is correct, 
wouldn't one of these make life a bit more tolerable?  Keeping in mind that 
I don't use F9, NM, or BOINC.  :-)

1.   Change the script number in /etc/init.d of NM to a lower number than 
BOINC or change BOINC number to one higher than NM.

2.    Do not configure BOINC to start a boot time in the usual manner but 
add a "server boinc start" to rc.local.
