I didn't chkconfig NM on, I just ran "service NetworkManager restart".
Does it really have to start at boot-time?
It doesn't really, but IMO the most useful operational mode (for a laptop,
at least) is to have it start at boot so it can connect on login. (There
was some discussion of supporting a mode that would connect on startup
without logging in. Not sure what the status of that feature is.)
Also I didn't stop the network service,
since it does not say one should do that in what little documentation
accompanies NM in Fedora.
I'll try both.
It may no longer be necessary, but it couldn't hurt to not run the regular
network service when running NM. You can probably start the network
service, but you should set the interfaces to not start at boot. Having
them up will almost surely confuse NM.
Thanks.
