NetworkManager is a system service and therefore typically starts at boot time.

If you want to interface NM (e.g. specify one time passwords or stuff like 
that) during the login screen, you have to use a DM that supports it. As far as 
I know, current versions of GDM start a Gnome Shell session with 
network-indicator even for the login screen. If you want that handled for a 
system without Gnome 3, you can run nm-applet as part of a login screen that 
supports system tray. You may have to be more careful with NetworkManager 
0.8.x, though as it works differently from what I know in the 0.9.x series.

Cheers,

Pavel
