NetworkManager is a system service and therefore typically starts at boot time. > Users that use laptops and have NFS home directories need to be able to set > up wlan/vpn before they actually log in so that autofs can mount their home > directory. 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.
