This is true even in F16. I have a desktop system with NM managing the 
network. The system goes online as soon as it boots, without any users logging 
in. I can ping it, I can login via ssh, I can read files served by httpd, and 
all that... ;-) The only thing needed is the proper initial configuration of 
NM.

HTH, :-)
