As mentioned in some earlier report, it appears than NM ignores /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and instead looks for /etc/dhclient-$IFNAME.conf (e.g. /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf). If this exists (e.g. as a symlink to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf) then NM uses that as the -cf parameter.

* It would be nice if NM used the system wide file we all know and love (even via a 'use system DHCP settings' checkbox;

* It would be nice if these "so simple they need no documentation" did in fact have some obvious documentation, in order to solve the more difficult cases with days of googling.
