RFKILL and WLAN BOOT

So I figured out how to get wireless working with wireless manager, however its more of a workaround than a permanant solution.

On boot, networkmanager starts, yet the kde applet detects no wireless interface.

My solution
______________________
rfkill unblock 0
rfkill unblock
/etc/rc.d/networkmanager stop
/etc/rc.d/networkmanager start

and BAM GARLIC! it works.

I would however like to not have to do this everytime I boot.
Given my limited knowledge, I would presume that the best solution would be to create a script that would run while the system boots, which would execute after udev but before network manager..sadly...I do not have a clue how to do this.

My question...If someone could assist me with this script, it would be awesome (assuming its possible)
If someone has a better idea, please lay it on me.

Re: RFKILL and WLAN BOOT

Just put your commands/scripts in

/etc/rc.local

or in KDE, put any file (executable) in

~/.kde4/Autostart
