I'm seen the same behaviour...

Lawrence, are you running a 64 bit Fedora? Is it a fresh install or an upgrade?
In my case, I'm running Fedora 13 64 bit, and I have been upgrading since version 11. This behaviour only started after upgrading to Fedora 13.
I haven't had time to troubleshoot, but if anyone can send some instructions, we can avoid myself posting some huge (and not always useful) log messages.
Regardless, I'll investigate ASAP.

You are correct, but that is the problem I am having.  I have set all of
my settings correctly and I am still getting this problem when system is
shutdown and rebooted.  I went as far as uninstalling network manager
and reinstalling.  When I reboot, the network icon shows up with a small
(x) thus telling me it is not connected.
