Autostarting NetworkManager in Fedora 8 prevents sshd to start properly

[Robert Allerstorfer <linux-ra anet at>]

When the NetworkManager service is set to autostart on boot in Fedora
8 (using 'chkconfig NetworkManager on'), it is no more possible to
remotely connect via ssh on boot unless a login took place directly on
the machine. This problem was not present in Fedora 7. Any clues how
to solve this problem?

The official version of NM Fedora 8 currenly uses is
NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.6.svn3109.fc8.

best,
rob.
