according to the developers documentation there are;

\"OrderPreference attribute

The OrderPreference attribute is an enumeration indicating the general time period during startup the bundle prefers to execute. This attribute is less significant in determining the execution order of bundles than the Requires and Uses attributes.

Possible values for this attribute are First, Early, None (default), Late, Last.\"

Timing

Is there a way to time delay a specific app from loading until after a driver is loaded?

I have a problem with the Alcatel DSL Modem driver; it takes quite a while to wake up from booting. When the system is booted to the desktop the driver loads way (say 45 secs) after the last startup app has launched, and as the Vicomsoft Internet Gateway "Server" app loads before the Alcatel Driver (I tried to make it run as a start-up app) it cannot subsequently connect to the internet.

I have to manually Boot, wait for all the startup apps to launch then sit and wait 30-40 secs for the Alcatel Drivers to wake-up then manually start the Vicomsoft Server. This is a pain to have to do regularly as I have only a 20-30 sec window in which to get the server running if I go beyond this time before launching the Server App I have to reboot the Mac (I can't just log-out it has to be a full re-boot!).

Any assistance would be much appreciated as I am not a developer.

Thanks!
Neal

Sounds to me like that Alcatel Driver is crap! Or something in it's configuration is wrong. I would start with the support for that modem. Doesn't it have an Ethernet connection by the way?
