Do you actually have to edit it or do you just need to activate it? Please provide the exact steps you follow to get your network operational.

Can you please load system-config-services and ensure that the network service is set to start on all runlevels (select network service and click customise. Ensure that there is a tick in every box).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Boot system
2. Open system-config-network
3. Choose device and hit edit
4. Close dialog box without any changes

In last step i do not really need to do anything, i can close that properties box and nm-applet asks me for password to my wifi connection.

Network in Services was disabled but it was running, i guess NetworkManager starts it. 

After i enabled network service wifi card starts after boot but it tries to get ip address during boot and it fails. Boot process sits and waits for it to timeout.

I know that it was working before, it happened while i messed up with my eth0 which does not work.

I have fixed that. In system-config-network i have edited my card and choose not to bring it up while booting, left network service enabled and card is activated after i log in. I assume that is done by NetworkManager.
Bug can be closed
