A few weeks ago I had this problem on F8, whereby Evo would insist on
starting up offline even though I had configured it to start online. I
finally tracked it down to NetworkManager. At that time I was using
s-c-n but NM was also running even though it didn't manage any
interfaces. The upshot was that NM thought I was offline even though I
wasn't, and Evo took its cue from NM instead of checking for itself.
I complained about it on the Evolution list but I doubt the situation
has changed since then.
The fix was to surrender to the inevitable and use NM for everything.
Luckily I have a simple setup so it didn't cost me anything, but YMMV.
Using s-c-n and turning off NM completely might also work.
