On this Fedora-7 system I do see NetworkManager getting started as one of the last things in the boot sequence. I don't see how this is going to work well. NetworkManager is a daemon that tries to be a dynamic routing program for the local host. It is meant to find working interfaces and then using some priority scheme decide which one to use for outdoing packets. In practice, I'm never seen it work at all, not just have the glaring boot-order problem. Boot order in Fedora is not very well thought out - other competing programs to NetworkManager like wpa_supplicant are also started too late in the boot order. It isn't an isolated problem. BSD's tend to pay much more attention to getting stuff like this right and tend to fix it faster. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
