Here is my problem. I have a wifi card handled by the iwlwifi module. I use network manager with the nm-applet to manage it. Sometimes, but not always the wifi card just don't work: it keep trying to configure it before claiming that no network is available (when in reality there is a strong wifi signal). However, I notice that this problem never happen if I disable the auto-connect feature and connect each time manually by clicking the icon. I guess it is because network manager try to configure it too early, before the module has initialized the card or load a necessary firmware. I am not quite sure it is that but I would like to try to convince network manager to wait a few seconds before doing anything with the card and see if it solves the problem. Is it at all possible?

Not sure how to delay NM startup, but I'd want to be certain of the root cause before making any changes. To that end, can you post:
The wireless card you're using:
lspci -v...(or use lsusb if its a USB-connected wifi card)
The journal output for a particular boot where you saw the issue:
journalctl --boot=0...(for current boot, -1 for previous boot, etc.)
The output of
dmesg...for a boot instance where the issue occurred.
