NetworkManager and RunLevel 3

[Geoffrey Leach <geoff hughes net>]

Every so often on the Fedora list, there's a question about running 
NetworkManager on Fedora 10 at RunLevel 3, that is where there's no X 
windows or desktop running. It's generally acknowledged that at 
RunLevel 5 NetworkManager runs like a champ. Furthermore, 
it seems that 
the problem is mostly (always?) where the system relies on a wireless 
connection to a router. So, with all of that in mind, I thought I'd ask 
here and will re-post a summary of replies on the Fedora list.

Is it the case, then that:

   o NetworkManager is not designed to be run at RunLevel 3. 
Forgetaboutit!

   o NetworkManager should run at RunLevel 3, but it's 
broken.

   o Works for me -- what's your probelm?
