Trade NetworkManager for network.
ie:
sudo service NetworkManager stop
sudo service NetworkManagerDispatcher stop
sudo chkconfig NetworkManager off
sudo chkconfig NetworkManagerDispatcher off
sudo chkconfig --level 2345 network on

Run system-config-network and set up the wireless card.
Be sure to check the box in the General tab for automatically start 
interface upon boot.

sudo service network start

All fixed up.  From now on the wireless card will start up first thing.  
ntpd, nfs, and other network services will work on startup now also.

Good luck!
