Hi, i am currently testing the beta2 of network-manager 0.8.1 on my Debian Testing system, which has the isc dhcp3-client 3.1.3 installed by default. The new network-manager seems to use some commandline options for calling the dhcp-client which are not available in version 3.1.3 because i can see the following in the syslog: May 30 11:03:42 s710 NetworkManager[21976]: <info> Activation (eth0) Beginning DHCPv4 transaction (timeout in 45 seconds) May 30 11:03:42 s710 NetworkManager[21976]: <info> dhclient started with pid 21983 May 30 11:03:42 s710 NetworkManager[21976]: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 3 of 5 (IP Configure Start) complete. May 30 11:03:42 s710 dhclient: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.3 May 30 11:03:42 s710 dhclient: Copyright 2004-2009 Internet Systems Consortium.

May 30 11:03:42 s710 dhclient: For info, please visit https://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/ May 30 11:03:42 s710 dhclient: Usage: dhclient [-1dqrx] [-nw] [-p <port>] [-s server] May 30 11:03:42 s710 dhclient: [-cf config-file] [-lf lease-file][-pf pid-file] [-e VAR=val] May 30 11:03:42 s710 dhclient: [-sf script-file] [interface] May 30 11:03:42 s710 NetworkManager[21976]: <info> (eth0): DHCPv4 client pid 21983 exited with status 1 The same seems to happen with version 4.1.1 of the dhcp-client (Debian package isc-dhcp-client, version 4.1.1-1): May 30 11:30:30 s710 NetworkManager[5191]: <info> Activation (eth0) Beginning DHCPv4 transaction (timeout in 45 seconds) May 30 11:30:30 s710 NetworkManager[5191]: <info> dhclient started with pid 5198 May 30 11:30:30 s710 NetworkManager[5191]: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 3 of 5 (IP Configure Start) complete.

I already did a short look at the src/dhcp-manager directory but i could not find a part where i could print the whole commandline which is used for calling the dhcp-client.
