I'll just paste the messages I get when I try to do "NetworkManager start --no-daemon" first
Code:

I'm not quite sure how this problem started. Yesterday, I was messing around with my system and hardware clocks, since I just moved. I changed my hardware clock from local to UTC and locale from EDT to PDT. I messed up a couple of times, so I did have clock screw for some time.

When I finally got everything working, clock-wise, when I restarted, I found out that nm-applet wasn't working anymore.

The error I got when running nm-applet was:
Code:
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area

** (nm-applet:5242): WARNING **: get_all_cb: couldn't retrieve system settings properties: (2) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings was not provided by any .service files.
** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area

** (nm-applet:5242): WARNING **: fetch_connections_done: error fetching system connections: (2) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings was not provided by any .service files.


After searching around the net and changing many things that did not work, I found out that NetworkManager not starting is also a possbile reason for this.

Thus, I tried what I did in the beginning of this post and found it to be segfaulting. I'm not sure what I did to make this happen...

Btw, I'm pretty sure, at least, that it's not because wlan0 is starting and thus taking up the wpa_supplicant resource. I deleted my net.wlan0 file.
