That's probably too late.  rc.local is the last step in boot, after all 
regular services (including NM) are started.

You might try starting from /etc/sysconfig/modules/.  That happens very 
early in the boot process.  You just need a script called 
<something>.moduless that starts the daemon dropped in that directory and 
executable by root.

I don't have one though, so I don't know if there is an "approved" or 
built-in startup for that daemon.
