NetworkManager fails to start during boot

[Ajay Garg <ajaygargnsit gmail com>]

Hi all.

I have a Fedora 14 image, and NetworkManager 0.8 has been configured to start at boot-time (at runlevel 5).

However, after my system boots up, "ps -aux | grep -i "NetworkManager"" shows no running NetworkManager. 
Instead, the following NM trace is obtained from "/var/log/messages" ::
