Problem description: the network manager starts dhclient and waits for
45secs and then gives up (timeout). The dhclient gets a proper IP
address but this event is not transmitted via dbus to the network
manager. Log below (solution after log):

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: add the missing dbus message to /etc/dhclient-script:
if [ -n "${dhc_dbus}" ]; then
/usr/bin/dbus-send \
--system \
--dest=com.redhat.dhcp \
--type=method_call \
/com/redhat/dhcp/$interface \
com.redhat.dhcp.set \
'string:'"`env | /bin/egrep -v '^(PATH|SHLVL|_|PWD|dhc_dbus)\='`";
if (( ( dhc_dbus & 31 ) == 31 )); then
exit 0;
fi;
fi;
which I've placed directly after the command "make_resolv_conf" in the
script. Don't know if that the best place but it works. This script has
been taken from:
