If you use the following command instead it will confirm whether your build 
system configuration knows anything about the named recipe:

 bitbake-layers show-recipes "networkmanager*"

If you want to find recipes that exist anywhere in publicly available layers, 
use the recipe search function within the OE layer index:

 http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/recipes/
