/usr/sbin/NetworkManager *MUST* be running if you want to access the Internet.
1.0.4 did NOT run. When checking /var/log/*.crash files, I found a network-manager-related crash file which indicated that NM had crashed way before it got to the graphical login screen.
Downgraded NM and everything worked as expected.
Confirming with 1.0.4.
But WFM with 0.19.10.0.
BTW, instead of funny guessing, just do
ps -ef | grep NetworkManager
