I found a very similar problem with 11.3 rc2 as well. I have a Compaq CQ60
laptop with built in wireless, bluetooth and wired ethernet port.
on a second or third reboot after loading 11.2 the ethernet connection was not
up and running. My daft solution was to disconnect the cable and reconnect
after 5 seconds. Network Manager then connected within 1 or 2 seconds (tried
this three times to ensure this was not a fluke (ie reboot - disconnect -
reconnect - good result). My assumption is that reconnecting the cable made
this form of network access priority over the wireless.
I followed David Kerkhof's suggestion above (#5) and rebooted and the ethernet
connection was immediately available. However, the issue with this as a
solution is that right-clicking on NM in the tray shows "enable wireless" as
ticked (on). The trouble is that if I do decide to use the wireless function,
will I remember to re-set the suggestion David made? Answer- NO!.
