Hm, could be a DHCP lease file problem, close your connection then
goto /var/lib/dhcp and rename dhclient_leases to dhclient_leases_OFF
(I just done that, but it seems not to be used anymore by NM, give it
a try anyway and see what's happening (w/ other networks that home)).
As NM is often upgraded (in sid), so this can also be a bug; in this
case, you should try (as root) to make new connections files
into /etc/Network-Manager/system-connections and restart NM manually.

My wlan0 disappears when closing NM networking and I can't ifup it :(
NM seems to preempt it (I see pieces of it into policykit:((
Same shit that w/ systemd;(((
