BOINC again !? -- BINGO, BINGO and BINGO

[William Case]

Hi Patrick and Craig;

Thanks a million, I would and thousands of others would never have
guessed NetworkManager was BOINC's problem in a thousand years.

As I said, after re-installing Boinc and then re-booting,  I ran a new
set of the work units to the end.  No new units would download.
boincmgr complained about a lack of a connection -- BINGO.

I re-booted just to see.  No joy -- BINGO

I then added '/sbin/service boinc-client restart' to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
and re-booted once again.  --BINGO  

Everything was up and running. New work units were down loaded
automatically and boinc is happily processing away as I write.

N.B.  For anyone following this saga and has a similar problem notice
one correction.  The line is '/sbin/service boinc-client restart', not
'/sbin/service boinc restart'.

Re: Bug reporting.  I think this bug is worth reporting, although you
probably know better which details to report regarding NetworkManager.
Some poor unlucky shmuck could get caught from 2 days to a week trying
to figure out what was wrong.

Once again, thanks very much to both of you, and the others that tried
to give me a hand.
