Hi,

Today I updated my F16 to latest version. After a while I noticed some
problems with network, I rebooted system and after this my network on
this box doesn't work anymore.

I use NetworkManager and dhcp. During the update NetworkManager and
NetworkManager-glib was updated from 1:0.9.1.90-3.git20110927 to
1:0.9.1.90-4.git20110927, dhclient, dhcp-libs and dhcp-common was
updated from 12:4.2.2-9 to 12:4.2.3-1.

I downgraded NetworkManager and dhcp packages to previous versions,
but my network still doesn't work. I guess that one of other updates
broke it. I see in history:
cronie-* - unlikeley
dracut
freetype
gdb
ghostscript-fonts
gitweb
kernel - I tried previous version - stil no network
libblkid
libdrm
libmount
libuuid
ntp
ntpdate
perl-* - many packages
php-pear
polkit
sane-*
shared-mime
tzdata-*
util-linux
xen-*

ifconfig doesn't show information about inet address so I guess that
it is not obtained from dhcp. When I try to run dhclient manualy it
can obtain data from dhcp, but it works really slow. When I strace it
I see
"wait4(-1, Warning: cannot bind to specific iface, falling back:
Operation not permited"

Does anyone have any idea what should I downgrade to fix my network?
