Same thing happens to me, it is apparmor and dhclient related.
If I disable Network Manager and try to get the settings through dhclient I get:
#dhclient eth0 www.isc. org/sw/ dhcp/
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.2

Open a socket for LPF: Operation not permitted
Settings complaining mode for dhclient fixes the situation and I can connect to wired/wireless:
#aa-complain --complain /sbin/dhclient init.d/ NetworkManager restart
#/etc/
Hope this helps.
