I just did a fresh install of F14-RC1 (i.e. the gold version, x86_64)

DHCP to a Belkin hub. The net itself is fine as other machines can
connect, but F14 is dead. The "Edit Connections" dialogue is completely
normal, IPv4, DHCP for everything etc.

Attempting to run nm-applet gives a mysterious message about "Could not
get the session bus". It then dumps core.

This is about as uncomplicated a setup as it's possible to imagine, and
yet it doesn't work out of the box. I hate to carp about free software,
but how can this not have been caught in testing? (Yes I know, but we
don't all have the time and resources to test the new stuff before
release)

Does the driver happen to be the e1000e intel driver?

I have an instability problem with that one.
