I installed NetworkManager and I can't seem to get it to do anything. It dhcp's my eth0, dhclient breaks my resolv.conf, and I can't get any NetworkManager windows to come up. I've tried NetworkManager and NetworkManagerInfo. I get errors like this:
[tjb@katratzi ~]$ NetworkManager /usr/bin/NMLoadModules: line 51: ip: command not found /usr/bin/NMLoadModules: line 53: modprobe: command not found SIOCGMIIPHY on eth0 failed: Operation not supportednm_create_device_and_add_to_list(): adding device 'eth0' (wired) nm_device_activation_cancel(eth0): canceled Nothing to flush.

Something isn't setting the path properly. Try
PATH=/sbin:$PATH NetworkManager
[horribly ugly capitalisation unlike any other desktop or gnome tool should be fixed too IMHO its system-network-manager ;)]
If that works file a bug.

Somewhat better:

Are you trying to run this as a regular user? That won't work, you need to start the NetworkManager daemon as root. It should typically be started by init scripts.
It is. What is the user-mode interface or is there one?

Actually, I tried NetworkManagerInfo and got nothing too:
sh-3.00$ NetworkManagerInfo sh-3.00$ ** (NetworkManagerInfo:8886): WARNING **: Failed to send buffer
