On booting, nm is not bringing up my wired connection. When I login, nm-applet is not starting. I have to start it manually, then it brings up eth0. nm-applet shows selection 'auto ethernet'. Last time I manually selected 'wired connection', but it set itself back to 'auto' (whatever that means - automatically not work maybe?)<https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list>

I'm seeing exactly the same behavior on my home system after a reboot.It does NOT happen if I only logoff and then log back on. This system doesn't have a wireless adapter, so when it happens I simply have no connectivity at all until selecting "eth0 Auto". Hope that helps chase things down!
