KDE networkmanagement-plasmoid: What did I forget?

I have a smaller but growing problem. When I start network at startup dhcp finds itself and everything is OK. But when I use networkmanager and KDE's networkmanagement plasmoid there is no way to get dhcp to work, I only have a connection if I write dhcpcd eth0 in command line, the networkmanagement-plasmoid says eth0 is unmanaged. I've followed the steps on the wiki but I may forgot something.

Why is simply starting network instead of networkmanagement bad for me? Two reasons:

-bootup time (once I had networkmanager but this problem came so I switched back to network)
-soon I'll only be able to get my connection on wifi and the networkmanagement is the easier(?) way to make it work with WPA

You have to disable the network interfaces in rc.conf (!eth0, !wlan0 etc), and specify the networkmanager daemon in the daemons array. It's all in the wiki.

I did those! I started with those actually and !network. As I told you I followed the wiki. Only the hal-based debug step which I skipped

Have you checked that /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state have NetworkingEnabled=true.
And that /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf doesn't include anything that disables networking.

Dont you also have to disable 'netfs' in your daemons as well? i.e., (!netfs)
