Description Steven 2016-01-22 19:42:50 UTC 
Currently, NetworkManager will happily start and connect to networks before network-pre.target has started. According to the manual:

> This passive target unit may be pulled in by services that want to run before any network is set up, for example for the purpose of setting up a firewall. All network management software orders itself after this target, but does not pull it in.

This means that NetworkManger is starting before firewalls. The solution is to add an `After=network-pre.target` line to the NetworkManager.service unit.

That was fast. Thanks!
