[Network] preflet crashes on initial use.

[al_xv]

Steps:

I installed HREV51808 (previously had R1A4 installed on same hardware) and on first boot after install I noticed the network TX/RX ActivityMonitor graph (see screenshot) with significant activity. I tried to open up the Network prefs and received a crash (report attached). I tried opening it again and it didn't crash.

After further reboots, Network preflet performed as expected.

I've been using HREV51808 for a couple days now and no further crashes (but settings for LAN have been changed to static IP) due to problems with DHCP (phaceholder_for_TRAC_ticket_ID#).

I will attempt to reproduce this issue, but I was trying to troubleshoot a different issue when it occoured, so I'm not certain what the conditions must be for this crash report to be generated. Comments will be added if I discover anything else.

[Expected] Behavior:

Under R1A4, no crashes were encountered using the Network preflet.

Hardware:

Compaq Evo D510 (slim desktop) - Single Core P4 @ 1.9Ghz - 1gb ram

NIC:

Intel 82801DB Pro/100 VM (/dev/net/ipro100)
