In that case, changing the startup order, may seem to work. It determines only 
the startup order of the scripts, it will NOT make sure the actual services 
are started. Therefor, if webmin can only start AFTER the network is up, you 
must verify that the network is up in the startup script of webmin. The bare 
fact that the webmin script is started after the network script will not 
guarantee this.

I'm still not convinced of a valid reason to change the startup order.
