Someone undoubtedly has, but I gave up on network manager long ago, and 
switched to using ifup to start the connection, even on my laptops.  It seems 
to be a lot faster and in my case, a lot more reliable.  

And startup is done before control gets to me, so I don't have to sit there 
and look at an icon until it tells me I'm connected.  Everything I need to 
access is ready when I am. 

Maybe network manager is a lot better today than it was when I stopped using 
it, but ifup works so well for me, I've never felt compelled to give it 
another try.
