I have NM working on my laptop but when I boot it does not start

sometimes drops the connection but telling NM to reconnect gets the
connection working again. The card is madwifi.
What does "chkconfig --list NetworkManager; chkconfig --list network"
output? I believe you want to see this:
NetworkManager 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
network 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
This should get a little easier in F9, since NetworkManager should run
by default[1] and the network init script will not. So the default
should make it much easier for people to follow John's suggestion to
try NM first.
I have both NetworkManager and network autostarting, but the wireless
entry in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts is set to ONBOOT=no. Both
wireless and eth0 work peachy. I will certainly keep it that way when I
upgrade to F9+.
As an aside, the native Fedora driver for my Atheros (Acer Aspire 5570Z)
didn't work. I had to blacklist the module and install madwifi from Livna.
