Alexander, this affects the PPA 0.7~~svn20080928t225540+eni0-0ubuntu2~nm3~hardy1 package.
I'd been using my own variation of the 0.7 package but yesterday allowed it to upgrade to the network-manager PPA version. A few hours later after a system restart neither the wired or wireless interfaces could get a connection using NetworkManager. I added an fprintf() to nm-dhc-client-action.c:main(), built, and installed. Then I renamed /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action to /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action.exe and created a shell script in its place that sets up logging and then calls the original binary: #!/bin/bash exec >> /tmp/dhclient-debug.log 2>&1 set -x /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action.exe echo "exit code=$?" The log reported: + /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action.exe nm-dhcp-client-action.c::main(1, '/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action.exe') Error: Could not acquire the NM DHCP client service. Message: (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied) Connection ":1.4688" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.nm_dhcp_client" due to security policies in the configuration file + echo 'exit code=1' exit code=1 The contents of /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-dhcp-client.conf on the system (and in the .deb) were: <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd";> <busconfig> <policy user="dhcp"> <allow own="org.freedesktop.nm_dhcp_client"/> <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.nm_dhcp_client"/> </policy> <policy context="default"> <deny own="org.freedesktop.nm_dhcp_client"/> <deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.nm_dhcp_client"/> </policy> </busconfig> Before I found this bug report I then tried adding: <policy user="root"> <allow own="org.freedesktop.nm_dhcp_client"/> <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.nm_dhcp_client"/> </policy> and restarted dbus.
