So I lied earlier. The key is:
dhcp=dhcpcd
not 'dhcp-client'...

Yay, outstanding. I should have found that on my own though :/

So I lied earlier. The key is:
dhcp=dhcpcd
not 'dhcp-client'. Which should also be documented in 'man
NetworkManager.conf' actually.

Well, here's what I see in ps output:

Changes between NetworkManager 0.8 and 0.8.1
Are there any docs on the differences or changes between NetworkManager 0.8 and 0.8.1? The settings seems to have changed between 0.8 and 0.8.1. If I upgrade to 0.8.1 from 0.8, NetworkManager won't work any more but if I downgrade back to 0.8, it all starts working again. What changes were made? Finally, from commments made on Gentoo forums it looks like NetworkManager prefers to work with dhclient rather than with dhcpcd. Is this true?
