This sounds a bit like my problem as well, although I don't have
NetworkManager installed at all:

$ ps aux|grep NetworkManager
ibboard   9938  0.0  0.0   5284   820 pts/2    S+   09:37   0:00 grep
NetworkManager
$ rpm -q NetworkManager
package NetworkManager is not installed
$

As I said in a previous email, Banshee assumes that the lack of NM means
there's a static connection (which there is), but it seems that the
Last.fm/scrobbling plugin doesn't make that assumption. Banshee can pick
up the network and download album art, but the plugin can't scrobble.

Any help would be greatly appreciated (even if it is just "that's a bug,
best to report it" rather than "that's a config issue, don't waste
someone's time with a bug report")

Thanks.
