Does your system actually use DHCP or static IP? If DHCP, something is
not getting to NetworkManager. Be sure you have the correct 'dbus-send'
magic at the top of the dhclient script (possibly
in /sbin/dhclient-script). The fact that NM is attempting to do autoip
here means that DHCP is clearly not succeeding, and that NM is told that
the interface requires static IP configuration.
