Yes the commands you suggested indicate that nwam is running. Nwam is set in "automatic" mode. When
switching to manual mode there is an "Activate on boot" option in the "Interface
properties" window:

I'm not sure what it means, i.e. whether this means that it activates the NCU
before or after user login.
I've never tried it (my setup is from way before this was implemented ;),
but "activate at boot" seems fairly obvious to me. Try it!
It doesn't make sense to have this option disabled in automatic mode.

I'm using a RealTek card too, haven't had a single issue. Here's my scanpci
output for that device:
pci bus 0x0001 cardnum 0x07 function 0x00: vendor 0x10ec device 0x8169
