should figure out _why_ it can't be started, actually.  Could be due to
selinux policy denials perhaps.  Can you stop NetworkManager and run:

> /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings --debug --plugins=ifcfg-fedora

On this particular system, selinux is disabled. Here is my output... but I had to ^C it, since the command ended up hanging.
