I'm assuming you've already tried using CUPs with the available drivers provided there?
In my case I use the driver for a slightly different Brother model: I have a DCP 9015CDW and use the DCP 9010CDW dirver which works fine, including duplex.
A cursory search finds there's a discussion of drivers to use for your model here: http://openprinting.org/printer/Brother … -HL-2270DW.

When I look for lines including nvidia when I boot I see this:

[ 5.703206] [drm] [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Loading driverThe failure to load the module is by udev. Somewhat later, in userspace the module is loaded, the mode is set and finally the driver is loaded.
If we look at the man page for nvidia-modprobe it says:
DESCRIPTION
The nvidia-modprobe utility is used by user-space NVIDIA driver components to make sure the NVIDIA kernel module is loaded and that the NVIDIA
character device files are present. These facilities are normally provided by Linux distribution configuration systems such as udev. When possi‐
ble, it is recommended to use your Linux distribution's native mechanisms for managing kernel module loading and device file creation. This util‐
ity is provided as a fallback to work out-of-the-box in a distribution-independent way.My take on this is that devuan's udev (-eudev) is failing to load the module and that it's then being loaded as a fallback by nvidia-modprobe.
The issue is then why udev fails to load the module and I've no information on why this fails.
I didn't see the warning message on my old Mint Rosa distribution, The nvidia lines there were:

From what I remember, XFCE likes network-manager-gnome package. Install that, it installs ontop of NM, so leave him alone. This *gnome package should provide an app called nm-applet. It will be a panel/sys tray app.
You may need to add the nm-applet to the panel/sys tray. Someone else with XFCE installed should take over from here as I am running on faded memories.
As Micronaut says they prefer XFCE + selective gnome then, as you suggest, adding the relevant Gnome packages,until it works bits seems sensible. However interestingly the Devuan live CD chooses to uses XFCE with wicd for network management. I had the live CD .iso working and then installed on my setup to prove wireless (and other services) worked OK under Devuan on my system but I then went back and used the installation DVD .iso + advanced install to configure with RAID1 (mirrored drives) and Cinnamon. Cinnamon gives me the same toolkit (such as Rhythmbox for sound, Evolution for mail, Network Manager for WiFi) and interface as I had when I was using Mint (and before that Gnome 2 Ubuntu).

As you were coming from Mint (as I did - I was previously using ROSA which EOLed in April) I would have expected you to have gone with Cinammon as your DM - I'm not clear from your post what you've chosen), in which case you should have got a full Network Manager install as part of the package, including a panel notification icon (network@cinnamon.org). Clicking on the icon gets me into the configuration and it correctly shows my single ethernet port as unplugged. With the wireless there are 2 SSID shown and they are configurable there and there's also a toggle to switch the WiFi off completely.
Of course, that may not fix your boot problem as you say it may be an specific issue with your motherboard or its twin ethernet ports: mine's a Gigabyte board of 2011 vintage.
