Could you please disable gdm for the time being, so that you can login on the
console.

I assume you have no network connection at this point, bug please double check.
As you are using LDAP/NIS (please attach you configuration, nsswich.conf etc.
and if you use nscd/nslcd).

Then stop the running network-manager instance and start it with
"NetworkManager --no-daemon" and attach the output.
Does NM successfully acquire an IP address via DHCP?

If not, what happens if you disable LDAP/NIS in your nsswitch configuration
(will probably also require a restart of dbus).
