I ran further experiments at home this evening.
# NetworkManager --no-daemon
$ NetworkManagerInfo

Produced normal operation on my home network and was surprising quick to 
connect in both wired and wireless mode. What failed was running 
NetworkManager as a daemon.

# service NetworkManager start
$ NetworkManagerInfo

All I get in syslog is

Jan 21 21:05:45 localhost NetworkManager: starting...
Jan 21 21:05:45 localhost NetworkManager: eth0: Driver support level is 
fully-supported
Jan 21 21:05:45 localhost NetworkManager: Adding device 'eth0' (wired) 
to our list.
Jan 21 21:05:45 localhost NetworkManager: eth1: Driver support level is 
fully-supported
Jan 21 21:05:45 localhost NetworkManager: Adding device 'eth1' 
(wireless) to our list.
Jan 21 21:05:45 localhost NetworkManager:     SWITCH: best device changed

I DO NOT SEE

NetworkManager: Activation (eth1) started...
NetworkManager: Activation (eth1/wireless): waiting for an access point.
NetworkManager: Activation (eth1/wireless): waiting for an access point.
NetworkManager: Activation (eth1/wireless): waiting for an access point.

as I did in no-daemon mode. NM is getting stuck in daemon mode.
