DBus was moved earlier in our init sequence, it's now started before networking. It shouldn't need network access, but it might need NSS access (albeit I don't know immediately why). It would be nice to check whether NSS works to some extent for you when networking is stopped, but I don't know what uses of NSS dbus has ATM. I'd say it just changes UID. Could you try to run "getent passwd messagebus" and/or "getent passwd | grep messagebus" while networking is up and down? -- Loïc Minier
