This is not my case. I made the tests with the same PC I use for all my 
thinstation tests, for a long time.
I only changed fast boot options in conf files.
I looked at net conf on the client after boot (I launched busybox on 
tty2 and used ifconfig) : everything was OK)
Just for the record : I also tested with autonet rather than netwokmanager
