+Interesting.

+Sorry, I forgot to mention that I checked for this and NetworkManager is
+disabled by default. The syslog looks fine right up to the end with no
+failures and only a couple minor warnings. The log ends after the system
+brings up the loopback device. The last line is &quot;Configuring wireless
+regulatory domain [OK ]
