Problems with NetworkManager and DHCP

I have great troubles with NetworkManager not being able to acquire an IP address via DHCP on my home network. By accident I killed it and it restarted and immediately acquired the address. It seems that this might be some sort of startup ordering problem.

The simple solution for now is to kill and restart NetworkManager and all is well.

This has nothing to do with NetworkManager. After deleting it and using the standard ifup/ifdown scripts I still have the same problem.
