Comment:

 There's a bug in NetworkManager-0.6.5-3206-edit.patch

 it removes a call to new_nl_handle() :
 {{{
 @@ -560,7 +577,7 @@

         g_return_val_if_fail (iface != NULL, FALSE);

 -       if (!(nlh = new_nl_handle ()))
 +       if (!nlh)
                 return FALSE;

         if (!(request = rtnl_link_alloc ()))
 }}}


 The resultant logic is then as follows:
 {{{
         struct nl_handle *      nlh = NULL;
         if (!nlh)
                 return FALSE;
 }}}

 so the nm_system_device_set_up_down_with_iface() function never does
 anything

 There are still problems even with that fixed, so I'll keep hunting...
