Then I believe you had something else going on, as NetworkManager has
not (to this point) had the capability to start a connection on its own.
If you started the network service (as opposed to NetworkManager)
and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 was set to start on boot,
then that would explain the behavior you saw.

If you want this behavior in F8, set NM_CONTROLLED=no and ONBOOT=yes
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (and vice versa in your
wireless script), and set the network service to start on boot.
In F9, I believe NetworkManager will be able to control your devices on
boot if you want, or on login.
