Stefan, can you please try with the updated packages which can be found at [1] and report if you still see NetworkManager segfaulting.

[1] http://primates.ximian.com/~rml/networkmanager/RPMS/i386/

can't install these because of dependency issues, but it is also segfaulting in STABLE.

You can neglect the dependency regarding dhcpd. 

NetworkManager does not segfault with a 10.0 and the RPMS mentioned above.

Attaching a log of NetworkManager segfaulting on a box with an EDGE snapshop close to Alpha3.  Looks like some netlink issue.

last few lines of a strace while segfaulting

Rober, do you have an idea what triggers this one?

This is wrong. HAL crashed and remained in state D. With a sane HAL, NM does crash on 10.0, too.

No, unsure.  This is the first I have heard of this bug.

I can try to reproduce.

It is a bug in libnl:
