Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I have a single wired connection (eth0) that is set to use roaming mode.
NetworkManager starts up fine when I log in but then begins to spin. It
is trying to get a DHCP connection over and over. If I change the
connection to not use roaming mode and just use DHCP it works fine. The
error from my syslog looks like this (it is repeated many times over).

I've attached my syslog for you to work with.
