Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager

Update yesterday to Karmic caused DHCP wired network to not auto
configure.

Searched daemon.log to find:

Sep 16 10:24:59 pharper-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Marking connection 'Auto 
eth0' invalid. 
Sep 16 10:24:59 pharper-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth0) 
failed. 
Sep 16 10:24:59 pharper-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth0) Stage 
4 of 5 (IP6 Configure Timeout) complete. 

Set IP6 to 'ignore' and NetworkManager was able to configure IP4 on the
interface.

I don't know if this was a simple configuration reset caused by the
update or whether the underlying code now aborts if IP6 is not supported
on the network.
