I don't have this file. There is only an dhclient.conf.example

It is 0.6.5_p20070823

Two things I forgot to mention:
* Network manager works as expected when using an unencrypted network.
* My wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
        ssid="NETGEAR"
        psk="VERY_SECRET_PASSWORD" #this is changed, if course
        priority=5
}

Thou NM is from main portage, I'm also using the xeffects overlay.
