Are you using static IP or DHCP? If you are using a static IP,
NetworkManager doesn't yet support it but will so shortly even possibly
within a Fedora 8 update. Refer

NetworkManager is a deamon that works fine in runlevel 3. There is no
fundamental incompatibility there though most people use it in a desktop
environment. One of the planned features for Fedora 9 is drop the
inconsistency between the network service and NetworkManager service.
