Since the latest rawhide updates I now don't get a network connection after boot. I have to open a shell as root and issue a "ifdown eth0" followed by a "ifup eth0" to make the NetworkManager aware that there is a network out there. What is the proper way to configure this?

I have the same problem and restarting NetworkManager is another fix that works for me.
I have yet to get NetworkManager to use my wireless card. It does not see any configurations, does not give me a way to create them, and general acts like the card does not exist.
wlassistant works fine (until the last gpm braindamage). The card is using the b43 driver with the latest firmware.
Have you tried using system-config-network to configure the adapter, and then click the NetworkManager Controlled checkbox? I'm asking because my own wireless card failed to be useful from NM until I did that (in fact it was causing NM to crash when the service started). Now after I did configure it.. even if I remove all the configuration NM will still work fine. I'm unsure whether it was a bug and was incidentally fixed, or if the configuration via system-config-network did things I'm not reverting (but I don't think this is the case).
Anyway, if you haven't tried that yet, configure it with the s-c-n tool then see whether NM can handle it fine.
