Are you sure you have everything running?  NetworkManager can be a bit
of a chore to get running properly because it's a client/server
application that communicates over DBUS.  It's really strange because on
Ubuntu you need to start it up with the HAL scripts.  Make sure you've
got your DBUS setup properly.
