Is not the final run level 5. In that case, the S99networking link I had there would have been run. In its absence, I would assume to S40 would run. Maybe I'm wrong. My network does not start up until the very end so other "99" scripts may not have a connection which was the problem. It would be simple enough to get rid of the other symlinks and see what happens.
