[Bill Moss <bmoss clemson edu>]

I made the following changes.

1. NetworkManager.c -- I moved the daemonizing code to the top of the 
file, right after the parsing of options.

       if (become_daemon && daemon (0, 0) < 0)
       {
               syslog (LOG_ERR, "NetworkManager could not daemonize.  
errno = %d", errno);
            exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
       }

       g_type_init ();
       if (!g_thread_supported ())
               g_thread_init (NULL);

2. I changed the init script for Red Hat.

       daemon +19 --check $servicename $processname

I added the +19 to give NetworkManager the lowest possible (nice) 
priority at boot.

NM when started as a service after boot worked OK. NM when started in 
no-daemon mode after boot also worked OK. The original init script would 
not start NM properly. It looks to me like the worker thread for the 
wireless interface and the main thread were not communicating. NM failed 
to scan for an AP. It was not an issue of not finding an AP, NM was even 
scanning for an AP.  My guess is that g-threads and the daemon function 
used in NetworkManager.c are not playing well together.
