/etc/rcS.d/S40network doesn't work for you?

If reading /etc/rcS.d/README, /etc/init.d/README, and the
documentation referred to therein doesn't do it for you, you could try
reading through some of the startup scripts yourself. /etc/init.d/rcS
isn't that difficult a shell script to read, and explains what things
happen when.
(NB: /etc/rcS.d/README, combined with the fact that setup.sh is run
after everything in /etc/rcS.d, explains why your proposed "solution"
is wrong if you didn't have the S40network link. Specifically,
networking wouldn't be available for S41*-S99*, even though the README
claims it should be.)
