I believe that what Patrick was trying to tell you is that if you are
using NetworkManager, then it's entirely possible that networking isn't
fully operational when boinc service starts at bootup which would cause
it to fail. That can probably be verified by merely issuing
'/sbin/service boinc restart' (assuming that restart is an option for
the boinc sysv script). If that works, then it might just be easier to
put that command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local (/sbin/service boinc restart)
