You can make a network interface available on boot by marking it as
available to all users.  I do this with my laptop for the open
wireless in my home, so I can make sure that even if I'm not logged
in, as long as it's on I'm able to SSH it to it from elsewhere in the
house.

There's good documentation available here for NM:
