Following my post related to NetworkManager. I have found out about the workaround. If you have x86_64 system with 4GB support enabled, you should disable it in order to make NetworkManager work. I am not sure if that bug affects other distributions so, possibly the bug may be related to the x86_64 kernel. Let see if my theory can be verified.
It was my first even conference on Virtual FUDCon which greatly saved time and money. In summary, echo-icon-theme will not be ready for Fedora 8 given the time constrains. Its guideline needs a rewrite started by Martin Sourada. The icons are now residing on echo-icon-theme repository which facilitates the access for contributors looking to add/update the icons. It also means the wiki page for EchoDevelopment will no longer upload icons and will serve as reference. The mouse cursors are not in the repository yet but will be available shortly. Mairin, Fedora Artwork team leader, suggested to use Tango guideline for icons smaller or equal than 24x24 while keeping the isometric view for 32x32 and above. Demitri Glezos thanked the team for the use of icons on his Transifex project . The set of icons is roughly 40 percent complete and users of other desktop environment like KDE are encouraged to test them and provide ticket to track issues. Be in mind the echo-icon-theme division tea...

Currently using x86_64 with 4gb + networkmanager. No such issues.
Its a Thinkpad T61 with Intel 3945ABG wireless
Turns out it is something specific to the Marvell network card. I have two NICs on my motherboard and I tried the other one (Nvidia) and network seems to work perfectly! So maybe your problem could be fixed/worked around by trying a different network card.
When I upgraded from 2GB to 4GB, I went into the BIOS, Ctrl-F1 to get to the advanced chipset features, then enabled 4G RAM support. After that, when I booted I couldn't access the network. Interestingly, there was a boot-time message from the kernel
skge eth1: enabling interface, so I didn't look there for the problem.
After reading the posts here I went back, disabled 4G support and got my network back - at the cost of a few hundred MB of RAM. The kernel now only sees 3584MB instead of the 4096MB it saw before.
