Hi,
Technically, NetworkManager starts a timeout handler for the # of
seconds of the time of the lease, and executes a DHCP Renew when it hits
that timeout. Can you paste in the output of /var/log/messages starting
where it starts doing DHCP stuff until it says its connected? That
should figure out what the lease times are, and from that I can see
whether or not NM is actually honoring those lease times.
Thanks,
Dan
