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!.
