Seems to me that network manager is far from ready for use, it's causing 
too much trouble to too many people.

If you use your system like most Windows users do, then it's probably okay.

I don't remember doing this, but it does work very nicely on my desktop 
development machine:
[summer at potoroo ~]$ chkconfig  --list | grep -i network
NetworkManager  0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off
NetworkManagerDispatcher        0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off 
5:off   6:off
network         0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
[summer at potoroo ~]$
