I'm running NM in GNOME.  I did the following:

 	# chkconfig network off
 	# chkconfig NetworkManager on
 	reboot
 	log in
 	$ NetworkManagerInfo

Then the windmill starts and I can connect (most of the time...).

To ensure that NMI starts again at login, log out and select "save 
configuration".

NMI should not require root, as I understand it.  Start it from a user 
terminal.
