What do you mean by "hang on boot"? Does it block the boot sequence so other service can't be started (which would justify a severity serious), or does it fail to acquire a dhcp adress. Could you try to get a log file of NetworkManager (either run NetworkManager --no-daemon or grep for NetworkManager in /var/log/syslog).
A strace of the (blocked) NetworkManager process would be helpful too.
only solution to fix it is to actually kill the service: killall -9 NetworkManager && /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start Sorry for the lack of technical logs, this bug frustrated me to the point by which I simply purged the packages (network-manager and network-manager-kde). Fortunately, this bug is always reproducible for me across very diverse environments: a desktop using the forcedeth module for ethernet, a compaq presario 1500 laptop (uses intel modules), and a really old dell latitude ls series. To reproduce, set network-manager to run on the runlevel that X would be on and reboot with an rj45 connection hot to a simple home router (netgear, linksys, d-link, the usual).
I can't reproduce your problem here. Do you use static IPs, dhcp, anything special?
