What do you mean by "hang on boot"? Does it block the boot sequence so 
other service can't be started (which would justify a severity serious), 
or does it fail to acquire a dhcp adress.
Could you try to get a log file of NetworkManager (either run 
NetworkManager --no-daemon or grep for NetworkManager in /var/log/syslog).
A strace of the (blocked) NetworkManager process would be helpful too.

I can't reproduce your problem here. Do you use static IPs, dhcp, 
anything special?
