forgot to say that I get the warning that network services are not compatible with this version... No idea what does it mean
I just had the exact same problem. :( Grazie Antonio for posting a workaround! Alessandro
Same problem here after upgrading NetworkManager packages with you on Sun 29 May. Actually things worked ok, until I created a new VPN profile using nm-connection-editor. Tried importing a Cisco VPN profile file (pcf) and got some error. Logged out, logged in and all I got matched to the following page, that actually gives excellent workaround: http://www.surfer07.be/fedora/ But if I really need that Cisco vpnc profile under NetworkManager, how can I get it there working?
The same problem happens, when creating a new VPN profile via Gnome3 System Settings - Network - '+' - VPN - Cisco Compatible VPN (vpnc) - etc and even cleaned that 'Available to all users' option. Anyway that wizard created profile file under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ even the wizard died with an error message. If logging out/in, cannot use network at all. Removing that new profile from the directory above, logging out/in, I worked again. I have one another laptop updated from F14 to F15. It had my vpnc profile there before the update. In that laptop I can use that existing VPN profile with NetworkManager without any problems. Hope this helps finding the root cause to this problem.
Jussi, do you mean that any configuration file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ would cause such troubles?? I checked and actually I have a configuration file coming from Internet wireless connection. I will wait for a fast upgrade (and I suppose that any user with special connection would suffer of this bug)
I have update two laptops from F14 to F15. Both do have wired ethernet and wireless network connection under NetworkManager. No profile file found in that directory. It looks like the related network configuration is found as /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* My 1st laptop did not have any profiles under that directory. Updated to F15 and on 29 May updated NM packages with yum. In my 2nd laptop I created VPN profile as well as a 3G broadband profile when running F14. After updated to F15 and even updated those NM packages, I still can see those profiles in the directory. Just tried VPN and it works beautifully. So, you cannot say that if any profiles are found in the directory, NM would not work ever. As seen, it works ok if the profiles were there before updating from F14 to F15.
I have a VPN connection under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections as well (I think I never used it in F15, might be something ported from the previous F13 install). I'll wait for a comment from RedHat staff before trying anything else; if you need more info, just ask. ;) Alessandro
I'm also having this problem. I don't have anything under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. This bug report fits me perfectly too. Problem occurred today after update on FC15. Also, Buzilla really blows. Seriously, migrate to Launchpad: when Canonical does everything better, follow. This thing took 10 minutes to get my "sign up" e-mail to my gmail account.
I can confirm too, that you can get NetworkManager to start just by removing the plugin line in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf . However, you no longer have the configuration information available to connect to the wireless services.
If I look into /var/log/messages I get this May 30 10:20:42 x200s NetworkManager[5506]: <info> NetworkManager (version 0.8.999-3.git20110526.fc15) is starting...

I was also able to get NetworkManager to start back up by deleting all of the ifcfg-* files in rm /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
