Mentioning activate/deactivate button, you probably use system-config-network 
tool which is not a part of NetworkManager. It is a GUI tool for the legacy 
'network' service.

NetworkManager uses 'nm-applet' program as its primary GUI. It runs as an 
applet in the systray.

To ensure that you are using NetworkManager, do (as root):

service network stop
service NetworkManager start

You can see log messages of NetworkManager daemon in /var/log/messages.
