Just a quick update that may help the OP or others with this problem. Whilst searching through the bug reports, it seems that a bug report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623193) has already been filed. The problem also seems to relate to this bug

The workaround (for me at least) is to simply make a single edit to /etc/nfsmount.conf, changing the line
#Defaultvers=4
to
Defaultvers=3

This worked for me. Note, the NFS drives I’m accessing are on a openSUSE 11.2 server. I’ll be rebuilding the server to 11.4 shortly and will see if this still work around still works or is even required.

I had two notebooks running OpenSuse 11.4 using NFS mounts and the above fix solved the problem of the Knetworkmanager hanging at login for at least 5 min. After changing the Defaultvers=3 in nfsmount.conf the wireless network now connects as you log in to the system. Thank you for the fix!
