I'm using NM on a clean system, and it works great.
I have a question, though - how can I make it work when I drop to 
runlevel 3? Is there some UI or some flag in its configuration that will 
tell it to continue working?
 From what I understand, the daemon starts in runlevel 3 and continues 
to work just fine when I change 5->3, but since it loses its internal 
connection to the nm-applet, it disconnects me from the network.


Thanks!
