I have both NetworkManager and network autostarting, but the wireless
entry in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts is set to ONBOOT=no. Both
wireless and eth0 work peachy. I will certainly keep it that way when I
upgrade to F9+.
As an aside, the native Fedora driver for my Atheros (Acer Aspire 5570Z)
didn't work. I had to blacklist the module and install madwifi from Livna.
