I don't know about SuSe, but in RedHat you ave a /etc/rc.d/rc.local file 
whic is run after _all_ other init scripts. Thus stuff in the rc.local is 
always executed after loading e.g. the network code.

Another possibility is to execute the vdr stuff in one of the runlevel
directories (again this is in RedHat) /etc/rc.d/rc[12345].d. The two digit
number in the name of te link specifies when the specific link is
executed.  All links that have an 'S' in them, are executed when entering
the specific runlevel (runlevel 3 is multiuser, runlevel 5 is X). So you
could for example add a link like S99vdr. This would load the vdr stuff as
te last thing when entering the runlevel (rc.local is still loaded after
this).

I haven't got time to give a more detailed explanation :(
