can't start network manager

[jgubes]

i'm running fc5 on a dell latitude with a d-link dwl-g650 using madwifi drivers. i'm currently using gkrellm to monitor my connection and starting my card with "/sbin/ifup ath0".

I'd love to use network manager since it allows you to choose from a list of available ssids and it is what i was using on fc4.

i do "system->administration->server setings->services" and try to start network manager from there, but the mouse cursor just spins and spins like it's working on something and the daemon interface never pops up.

i just tried to start network manager from the shell and got this:
[root@localhost ~]# service NetworkManager start
Setting network parameters...
Starting NetworkManager daemon: [FAILED]
[root@localhost ~]#

Make sure haldaemon and dchdbd services are running. Check your /var/log/messages for errors.

Thanks foolish,
Haldaemon was started, dhcdbd wasn't so I started it and tried to start NetworkManager. Same result as before.
