I reported this bug several weeks ago.
My analysis is that on boot to wired NM reaches stage5 of activation
(where the dbus change of state signal is sent) before nm-applet is up
and ready to receive that signal. My solution was to change the order of
nm-applet in Gnome sessions Start Programs from the value 10 to the
default value of 50. Since that change, nm-applet has not once shown the
no-connection icon at boot when a good connection was in fact made.
I am running HEAD 1.522 on an T42 under FC4 kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4. On
boot to wired NM, does not wait for nm-applet to start or ask for a
password from Gnome keyring, it connects as fast as it can, only delayed
if the dhcp server is slow to respond.
