Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I'm using ubuntu intrepid on a laptop using sky2 module for the ethernet connectins. Having NetworkManager started I'm unable to connect to a wired network, this the syslog messages connected:
Nov 5 09:24:45 nbvolpi dhclient:
Nov 5 09:24:46 nbvolpi dhclient: Listening on LPF/eth0/

Nov 5 09:24:58 nbvolpi NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_signal_
Nov 5 09:24:58 nbvolpi NetworkManager: <info> (eth0): now unmanaged
I'm unable to use dhclient also after I have stopped the NetworkManager service.
The only way I have to connect to the network is to disable the NetworkManager, restart the system, and to connect to the network by hand.
A very annoying bug.
I have a similar problem, though I am able to connect as long as I connect manually. My package information:

When I go into the connection editor:
