+NetworkManager 0.8997 in cauldron did not have the mdv patch at all 
+because nm 0.9 is different than the 0.7 & 0.8.x branch.
+(Some mails was sent on the mailing list for that if i'm not wrong), so 
+you can expect that nm will conflict & try to start the network while 
+mageia tools (drakx) are trying also which can explain why you were not 
+able to connect at all.
+However blino did  patch yesterday night the ifcfg-rh plugin so at least 
+now nm is able to *ignore* the device managed by  drakx tools so you 
+should not have the same problem now.
