How does that compare with > what you are trying to do in f8? Well firstly I am not using NM at all as I want the wireless to come up without reference to the desktop - if I unset wpa_supplicant running at boot time then I would get the same chkconfig --list output as you do above. Then once I am booted up and logged in service wpa_supplicant start dhclient eth1 Then the wpa_supplicant daemon runs and wireless comes up just fine (the interface is defined in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 ). I could easily add these two commands to /etc/rc.local but I wanted to do it the easy way and simeply do chkconfig wpa_supplicant on, in which case the output from chkconfig --list would have "on" for both runlevel 3 and 5. However it is with the latter set up that it won't start the deamon during boot.
