This is the magic line, as /sbin/dhclient-script is what pushes the dhcp
info back to NetworkManager...  Red Hat had some patches against
dhclient-script that does this, others have asked about them before.  It
appears that your dhclient package in Gentoo is either misconfigured, or
wrong for Gentoo.  Where does gentoo normally store the interface setup
script that dhclient calls?

Yeah, that's pretty much required.  Or, dhclient needs to be pointed to
where Gentoo's dhcp setup script actually lives.  Then, you'll need to
make sure you've got the correct stuff in that script to push the
options to dhcdbd too.  What version of dhcdbd do you have?
