It will happen before the network is initilised, but if you need to add 
routes, why dont you do that in the add routes section?  afaik you just pop 
open yast and add the routes, or if your l33t enough, edit the routes file 
directly. (/etc/route.conf)


I use /etc/rc.d/boot.local to do things like start up my wacky wavlan card, 
since it has to have all of these bonzo options set for WEP to work...
