the default is to have NetworkManager service on and 'network' service
off and also to boot runlevel 5 so clearly you have been changing things
since the original installation.

You might want to ensure that 'network' service is set to automatically
start at your runlevel (you don't say which boot level you are
setting)...

chkconfig --list network

and I would presume if you are booting runlevel 3, which is supposed to
have networking turned on by default, the above should show 'on' for
runlevel 3.

if not, execute either

chkconfig --levels 2345 network on # very explicit
or
chkconfig network on # less explicit, uses /etc/init.d/network
                     # chkconfig statement to determine

You might want to do similar for 'Firestarter' service to ensure it too
is automatically started at boot up.
