Something else to look at... What does your network routing look like?
Do you have a proper default route? If not, you won't be able to get
beyond your local subnet.
/sin/route
I'm guessing that if NetworkManager isn't doing it right, its not
getting setup. If not, you could try:
/sbin/route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1
(I think that's the correct syntax....)

Check your network routing tables. If you don't tell the networking how
to get there, it doesn't know.
