I just changed from beta 5 to factory by pointing my repository at factory and
doing a "zypper dup".
In factory, network manager no longer seems to work. I can get an address with
DHCP but there are no entries in resolv.conf and there is no default route
entry in the routing table.
When I trigger dhclient manually from the command line I get an error in the
/etc/dhclient.conf file (see blow).
SOLUTION: I edited /etc/dhclient.conf and removed "network-number" from the
options, then retried clicking on network manager and things are now fine. I
also deleted resolv.conf and rebooted and again networking worked this time.
Here is the command line result of dhclient before editing dhclient.conf:
-----

And when I use network manager from the GUI here is what appears in the log
file (/var/log/Networkmanager):
