I put in my username and password.  Then a progress bar shows under "Retrieving manifest."  After about 60 seconds, it changes to "Unable to download manifest."

I grabbed the network traffic and saw over 26 different network connections happening  which makes it really hard to deduce just what is breaking.

Try again in a little while. That error indicates that the server that gives you the manifest (which I'm pretty sure is basically a version file so the launcher can determine if you need to download any patches) is not working properly. This happens sometimes under heavy load.

Geeze, I waited about 30 minutes and it finally worked, spent an hour downloading stuff and 10 minutes updating.  Then it had to restart, and now I can't connect download the manifest again. :/

If you know that Hawken is up-to-date, a workaround is to go into the Hawken game folder and then into HawkenGameBinariesWin32. Double-clicking on HawkenGame-Win32-Shipping.exe will launch it directly without going through the launcher, and then you will be prompted to log in from there.

However, be warned: If Hawken is not up to date, you will not be able to connect to any servers. If there's an update waiting, you're just going to have to grit your teeth and wait for the manifest situation to straighten out.
