here's my take on it and others may and probably will differ...

chkconfig NetworkManager off
chkconfig network on

The reason is that NetworkManager is mostly prone to starting only when
user logs in and 'network' starts up early as daemon and doesn't require
a user login. There apparently is configuration options to change that
behavior.

I suspect that if you execute those 2 commands, your next startup will
have networking up and running at startup.
