Speeding up boot process by managing Wifi devices ?

I seem to be rebooting my laptop a lot lately. Unfortunately, its a
slow process.
I watched the textual output during a reboot and was surprised to learn
that most of the time booting is spent on two Wifi related events:
a) Determining IP Information for wlan0
b) Searching for the nntp server, even though wlan0 did not connect to a
network.
I am running KDE and I've got Network Manager enabled, so once I log in,
its asking me which network I want to connect to and then connecting to
it.
All in all, I must be waiting several minutes for my wifi device every
time I reboot.
Is there a way to change this behavior so that:
a) my computer isn't trying to connect to a network when rebooting ?
b) its not trying to connect to the time server when it doesn't have a
network connection ?
Thanks
